Nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery

This nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprises a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The negative electrode includes a negative electrode core and a negative electrode mixture layer formed on at least one surface of the negative electrode core. The ratio (E1/E2) of the charging expansion rate (E1) to the discharge expansion rate (E2) of the negative electrode is at least 1.05 and less than 1.15. The content of silicon material with respect to the mass of a negative electrode active material in the negative electrode mixture layer is 3-12 mass %. Graphite, a first silicon material (SiO), and a second silicon material (LSX) are preferably included as the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode mixture layer.
