- the concentration of the negative electrode conductive agent particle in the surface layer of the negative electrode active material layer opposite to the negative electrode current collector is greater than the concentration of the negative electrode conductive agent particle in the central portion of the negative electrode active material layer. high.
- the surface layer of the negative electrode active material layer opposite to the negative electrode current collector is generally in contact with the separator.
- the separator holds a large amount of electrolytic solution. Accordingly, the negative electrode active material can be obtained by allowing the negative electrode active material layer to have a large amount of negative electrode conductive agent particles having high liquid retention and liquid absorption in the surface layer opposite to the negative electrode current collector.
- the layer can be supplied efficiently. As a result, lithium ions are easily supplied to the negative electrode active material particles. Therefore, deterioration of the negative electrode active material particles can be suppressed, and good charge / discharge characteristics can be obtained.
- the average particle diameter of the negative electrode active material particles is preferably larger than the average particle diameter of the negative electrode conductive agent particles.
- the negative electrode conductive agent particles having a small average particle diameter are converted into the negative electrode active material layer as the solvent component in the negative electrode mixture slurry evaporates. It becomes easy to move to the surface side opposite to the negative electrode current collector. For this reason, the density
- the average particle diameter of the negative electrode active material particles is larger than the average particle diameter of the negative electrode conductive agent particles in the range of 2 ⁇ m to 10 ⁇ m.
- the average particle diameter of the negative electrode active material particles is not sufficiently large with respect to the average particle diameter of the negative electrode conductive agent particles, the concentration of the negative electrode conductive agent particles in the surface layer opposite to the negative electrode current collector of the negative electrode active material layer is It may be difficult to increase.
- the average particle diameter of the negative electrode active material particles is too large with respect to the average particle diameter of the negative electrode conductive agent particles, the dispersibility of the particles contained in the negative electrode mixture slurry deteriorates when the negative electrode mixture slurry is produced. There is a case.
- the average particle diameter of the negative electrode active material particles is preferably in the range of 7 ⁇ m to 12 ⁇ m.
- the average particle diameter of the negative electrode conductive agent particles is preferably in the range of 2 ⁇ m to 5 ⁇ m.
- the BET specific surface area of the negative electrode conductive agent particles is preferably larger than the BET specific surface area of the negative electrode active material particles.
- the liquid retention property of the negative electrode conductive agent particles is higher than the liquid retention property of the negative electrode active material particles. Therefore, the effect of improving the liquid retention of the negative electrode by the negative electrode conductive agent particles is further increased.
- the BET specific surface area of the negative electrode conductive agent particles is more preferably 7 m 2 / g to 15 m 2 / g. If the BET specific surface area of the negative electrode conductive agent particles is too small, the liquid retention property of the negative electrode conductive agent particles is lowered, and thus the charge / discharge characteristics may be deteriorated.
- the BET specific surface area of the negative electrode conductive agent particles is too large, the amount of the negative electrode binder present around the negative electrode conductive agent particles increases, and therefore the amount of the negative electrode binder present around the negative electrode active material particles decreases. For this reason, the adhesiveness between negative electrode active material particles falls and the outstanding charging / discharging characteristic may not be acquired.
- the negative electrode conductive agent particles for example, metal particles or carbon materials such as carbon black can be used. Among these, a carbon material is more preferably used as the negative electrode conductive agent particle. Graphite particles are more preferably used as negative electrode conductive agent particles. Graphite particles have many voids. For this reason, the graphite particles have a lower density than NMP. Therefore, when graphite particles are used as the negative electrode conductive agent particles, the negative electrode conductive agent easily moves to the surface layer of the negative electrode active material layer opposite to the negative electrode current collector when the negative electrode mixture slurry is dried.
- the content of the negative electrode conductive agent particles in the negative electrode active material layer is preferably in the range of 1% by mass to 10% by mass with respect to the mass of the negative electrode active material. If the content of the negative electrode conductive agent particles in the negative electrode active material layer is too small, the cycle characteristics and the like may not be sufficiently improved. When there is too much content of the negative electrode electrically conductive agent particle in a negative electrode active material layer, the quantity of the negative electrode binder which exists around a negative electrode active material particle will reduce. For this reason, while the adhesiveness between negative electrode active material particles falls, the adhesiveness of a negative electrode active material layer and a negative electrode collector may fall. Therefore, the charge / discharge characteristics may deteriorate.

- the negative electrode binder is preferably a polyimide resin obtained by imidizing a tetracarboxylic acid anhydride with diamine, for example.
- a polyimide resin obtained by imidizing a tetracarboxylic acid anhydride with a diamine can be formed, for example, by reacting an esterified product of a tetracarboxylic acid anhydride with an alcohol and a diamine compound.

- the viscosity of the binder precursor can be made lower than the viscosity of the binder precursor in a polymer state such as a general polyamic acid as a precursor of the polyimide resin. Therefore, the binder precursor is likely to enter the irregularities on the surface of the negative electrode active material particles when preparing the negative electrode mixture slurry or applying the negative electrode mixture slurry. Therefore, the anchor effect generated between the negative electrode active material particles and the binder and the anchor effect generated between the negative electrode current collector and the binder are increased.
- the adhesion between the negative electrode active material particles and the adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the negative electrode current collector can be further improved.
- the viscosity of a binder precursor can be made low, it becomes easy for a negative electrode electrically conductive agent particle to move to the opposite side to the negative electrode collector of a negative electrode active material layer.

Therefore, by including a polyimide resin having a structure represented by formula (4) or formula (5) in the negative electrode active material layer, adhesion between the negative electrode active material particles or the negative electrode active material layer and the negative electrode current collector The adhesion between the two can be improved. As a result, excellent charge / discharge characteristics can be obtained.

When the viscosity of the negative electrode mixture slurry is too high, the negative electrode active material layer of the negative electrode conductive material particles when the negative electrode mixture slurry applied on the negative electrode current collector is dried is transferred to the surface layer opposite to the negative electrode current collector. Movement may be difficult to occur.

If the initial drying temperature is too low, the evaporation rate of the solvent component in the negative electrode mixture slurry during drying decreases. For this reason, it may be difficult for the negative electrode conductive agent particles to move to the surface layer of the negative electrode active material layer opposite to the negative electrode current collector. If the initial drying temperature is too high, the negative electrode binder may be altered by heat, and the function as the negative electrode binder may deteriorate. If the initial drying temperature is too high, the negative electrode conductive material may not easily move to the surface layer of the negative electrode active material layer opposite to the negative electrode current collector.
- the temperature of the heat treatment is preferably a temperature lower than the temperature at which the negative electrode binder is reduced by 5% by mass.
- the temperature of the heat treatment is preferably a temperature exceeding the glass transition temperature of the negative electrode binder.
- the temperature of the negative electrode active material layer exceeds the glass transition temperature of the negative electrode binder, the negative electrode binder becomes a plastic region. For this reason, a negative electrode binder becomes easy to enter into the unevenness
- the anchor effect between the negative electrode binder and each of the negative electrode active material particles and the negative electrode current collector is more greatly expressed. Therefore, the adhesion between the negative electrode active material particles is further improved, and the adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the negative electrode current collector is further improved.
