    摘要: Provided is a technique capable of further improving the cycle characteristics in a negative electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery in which a silicon-based negative electrode active material and a carbon-based negative electrode active material are used in combination as a negative electrode active material, and constituent components of the electrode are not bound to each other via a binder. The negative electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to the present invention has a configuration in which a negative electrode active material layer containing a negative electrode active material is formed on a surface of a current collector. The negative electrode active material contains composite secondary particles in which silicon-based negative electrode active material particles and carbon-based negative electrode active material particles are bound to each other via a binder. Here, the content of the binder in the composite secondary particles is 1% by mass or more with respect to the total mass of the silicon-based negative electrode active material particles and the carbon-based negative electrode active material particles. Further, in the negative electrode active material layer, the composite secondary particles are characterized to exist in a state of being not bound to each other via a binder.

    摘要: To provide a means capable of suppressing the generation of cracks in an electrode active material layer in the production of an electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery.Provided is a method for producing an electrode for use in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, including a current collector and an electrode active material layer including an electrode active material, arranged on a surface of the current collector, and a dispersion is by mixing the electrode active material, a binder formed of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF), a first solvent in which the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) is not dissolved, and a second solvent in which the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) can be dissolved. Then, an electrode active material slurry is prepared by removing the second solvent from the obtained dispersion. Then, a coating film is formed by coating the obtained electrode active material slurry on the surface of the current collector, thereby producing an electrode.
