Abstract

A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a positive electrode, a negative electrode and a nonaqueous electrolyte solution; the negative electrode comprises 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 contains, as negative electrode active materials, graphite particles A and graphite particles B; the graphite particles A have an internal void fraction of 5% or less; the graphite particles B have an internal void fraction of from 8% to 20%; if the negative electrode active material layer is halved in the thickness direction, a region on the half closer to the outer surface contains more graphite particles A than a region on the half closer to the negative electrode collector.

Claims (10)

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, and

the non-aqueous electrolyte solution contains a phosphoric acid ester compound represented by general formula (I):

where R1, R2, and R3 are each independently an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, or an alkynyl group, and at least one of R1, R2, and R3 is an alkenyl group or an alkynyl group.

2 . The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the number of carbon atoms of the alkenyl group and the alkynyl group is in a range of 2 to 10.

3 . The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the phosphoric acid ester compound in the non-aqueous electrolyte solution is in a range of 0.01 mass % to 3 mass %.

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