Abstract:
A practical lithium secondary battery is provided having a greater battery capacity than in the case of using particulate graphite as its negative electrode active material but a less electrical resistance of its negative electrode mixture layer than in the case of using particulate Si as the negative electrode active material. The lithium secondary battery also exhibits good charge-discharge cycle performance. The lithium secondary battery is furnished with a negative electrode having negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode mixture layer that contains a Sn-based particulate negative electrode active material and a negative electrode binder. The negative electrode binder is melt-bonded to the Sn-based particulate negative electrode active material and/or the negative electrode current collector, and the Sn-based particulate negative electrode active material is made of an intermetallic compound represented as SnXM1-X, where 1>X≧1/2 and M is Mn, Fe, Co, or Ni.
