Negative electrode and secondary battery including the same

A negative electrode comprising:

• a current collector;
• a first negative electrode active material layer positioned on at least one surface of the current collector, wherein the first negative electrode active material layer comprises a first carbonaceous active material;
• and
• a second negative electrode active material layer positioned on a surface of the first negative electrode active material layer, wherein the second negative electrode active material layer comprises a silicon-based active material and carbon nanotubes,
• wherein the carbon nanotubes are positioned in a line contact mode and distributed homogeneously only on the surface of the silicon-based active material, and
• wherein the second negative electrode active material layer further comprises a second carbonaceous active material.
