NEGATIVE ELECTRODE FOR SECONDARY BATTERY, AND SECONDARY BATTERY

This negative electrode for a secondary battery comprises a negative electrode mixture layer that includes: a negative electrode active material containing graphite particles and a Si-containing material; and a binder. The Si-containing material includes a Si-containing material A that includes a carbon phase and silicon particles dispersed in the carbon phase. The graphite particles include graphite particles A with 5% or less particle internal porosity, and the content of the graphite particles A is at least 10% by mass with respect to the total mass of the negative electrode active material. The content of the Si-containing material A is at least 1% by mass with respect to the total mass of the negative electrode active material.
