Negative electrode material for non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery and non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery

The present invention provides a negative electrode material for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery that includes particles of a silicon-based active material, the particles of a silicon-based active material being coated with a film of an organosilicon compound that contains a perfluoropolyether group, and a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery therewith. As a result, there is provided a negative electrode material for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery that is high in capacity, excellent in initial charge/discharge efficiency and cycle characteristics and high in safety and reliability, and a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery that uses the negative electrode material.
