Negative electrode for lithium-ion secondary battery, and lithium-ion secondary battery

Abstract

A lithium-ion secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolytic solution. The negative electrode includes a negative electrode active material layer having fine pores. The negative electrode active material layer includes first negative electrode active material particles and second negative electrode active material particles. The first negative electrode active material particles each include carbon-containing particles and silicon-containing particles in an ion-conductive material. The second negative electrode active material particles each include a carbon-containing material. A pore size that represents a peak of a volume fraction of an amount of mercury intruded into the fine pores is from 1 μm to 3 μm.
