Negative electrode including first layer having low compressive strength carbon active material and silicon active material and second layer having high compressive strength carbon active material and nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery including the same

A negative electrode for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising a negative electrode collector and a negative electrode mix layer disposed on the negative electrode collector,

• wherein the negative electrode mix layer includes a first layer and a second layer disposed successively from the negative electrode collector,
• the first layer contains a first carbon-based active material having a 10% compressive strength of 3 MPa or less, and the first layer further contains a silicon-based active material containing Si, and
• the second layer contains a second carbon-based active material having a 10% compressive strength of 5 MPa or more, and the second layer has a lower content of the silicon-based active material than the first layer,
• wherein the first carbon-based active material constitutes a sole carbon-based active material in the first layer, and the second carbon-based active material constitutes a sole carbon-based active material in the second layer.
