Abstract

This negative electrode is provided with a negative electrode current collector, and a negative electrode mixture layer formed on the negative electrode current collector, wherein: the negative electrode mixture layer comprises a first layer arranged on the negative electrode current collector, and a second layer arranged on the first layer; the second layer includes graphite particles A having a particle internal porosity of at most 10%: the first layer includes graphite particles B having a particle internal porosity of more than 10%; and the second layer has a water contact angle of at most 50°.

Claims (22)

1. A negative electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery, the negative electrode comprising:

a negative electrode electricity collector; and

a negative electrode mixture layer formed over the negative electrode electricity collector, wherein

the negative electrode mixture layer includes a first layer disposed over the negative electrode electricity collector, and a second layer disposed over the first layer,

the second layer includes graphite particles A having a particle internal porosity of 10% or lower, and the first layer includes graphite particles B having a particle internal porosity of greater than 10%,

a water contact angle of the second layer is 50° or lower, and

a volume ratio of the graphite particles A in the second layer with respect to a total volume of the second layer is 29 volume % or greater.

2. The negative electrode for the lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein

the negative electrode mixture layer contains an alloying material which alloys with lithium and,

the alloying material is contained in a larger amount in the second layer than in the first layer.

3. The negative electrode for the lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein

the negative electrode mixture layer contains fibrous carbon, and

the fibrous carbon is contained in a larger amount in the second layer than in the first layer.

4. The negative electrode for the lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein

the negative electrode mixture layer contains styrene-butadiene rubber, and

the styrene-butadiene rubber is contained in a larger amount in the first layer than in the second layer.

5. The negative electrode for the lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 4 , wherein

90 mass % or greater and 100 mass % of the styrene-butadiene rubber contained in the negative electrode mixture layer is contained in a half region on the side near the negative electrode electricity collector.

6. The negative electrode for the lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein

a thickness of the second layer is ⅓ or greater of a thickness of the negative electrode mixture layer.

7. A lithium ion secondary battery comprising:

the negative electrode for the lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 .
