NEGATIVE ELECTRODE FOR NON-AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE SECONDARY CELL AND NON-AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE SECONDARY CELL USING THE NEGATIVE ELECTRODE

The present invention relates to a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising an anode (3), a cathode (2) and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The anode forming this battery includes composite particles having a carbon material included in a metallic material. As the metallic material, metal capable of electrochemically reacting with lithium in a nonaqueous electrolyte is included.
