NEGATIVE-ELECTRODE MATERIAL FOR SECONDARY BATTERY, AND SECONDARY BATTERY

A negative electrode material for secondary battery use includes silicon-containing particles and coating layers covering at least part of the surfaces of the silicon-containing particles. The silicon-containing particles each include an ion conductive phase and silicon phases dispersed in the ion conductive phase. The coating layers contain at least one phosphate compound selected from the group consisting of a phosphate compound, a polyphosphate compound, and a metaphosphate compound, each of which contains an anion represented by general formula (1): In general formula (1), A represents an organic group or an oxygen atom.
