Abstract

The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery that can suppress reductions in rapid charge cycle characteristics. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to one embodiment of the present disclosure has a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a non-aqueous electrolyte. The negative electrode has a negative electrode collector and a negative electrode active material layer that is provided on the negative electrode collector. The negative electrode active material layer includes graphite particles A and graphite particles B as negative electrode active materials. The internal porosity of graphite particles A is no more than 5%, and the internal porosity of graphite particles B is 8%-20%. When the negative electrode active material layer is bisected in the thickness direction, there is a greater amount of graphite particles A in the outer surface-side half than in the negative electrode collector-side half.

Claims (11)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising: a positive electrode; a negative electrode; and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution, wherein

the negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer provided on the negative electrode current collector,

the negative electrode active material layer contains graphite particles A and graphite particles B as a negative electrode active material,

an internal porosity of the graphite particles A is 5% or less, and an internal porosity of the graphite particles B is 8% to 20%,

the graphite particles A are contained more in a half region on an outer surface side of the negative electrode active material layer than in a half region on a negative electrode current collector side of the negative electrode active material layer when the negative electrode active material layer is divided into two equal parts in a thickness direction,

the non-aqueous electrolyte solution has a non-aqueous solvent containing a carboxylic acid ester represented by [Chemical Formula 1], and

the carboxylic acid ester is contained in an amount of 5 vol % to 50 vol % with respect to a total of the non-aqueous solvent:

where R1 and R2 are each independently a hydrocarbon group having two or less carbon atoms.

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the carboxylic acid ester contains methyl acetate.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a viscosity of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution is 3.1 cP or less.

4. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode active material contains a Si-based material.
