Non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery

Abstract

A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery has improved battery durability, a high capacity, a high density, and a large area and includes a power generating element including a positive electrode in which a positive electrode active material layer containing a positive electrode active material is formed on a surface of a positive electrode current collector, a negative electrode in which a negative electrode active material layer containing a negative electrode active material is formed on a surface of a negative electrode current collector, and a separator, a ratio of a rated capacity to a pore volume of the negative electrode active material layer being 1.12 Ah/cc or more, a ratio of a battery area to a rated capacity being 4.0 cm2/Ah or more, and a rated capacity being 30 Ah or more, wherein a variation in porosity in the negative electrode active material layer is 6.0% or less.
