NEGATIVE ELECTRODE FOR LITHIUM-ION SECONDARY BATTERY, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING NEGATIVE ELECTRODE FOR LITHIUM-ION SECONDARY BATTERY, AND LITHIUM-ION SECONDARY BATTERY

Disclosed is a negative electrode capable of improving cycle characteristics of a lithium-ion secondary battery. The negative electrode has the cross-sectional configuration comprising a negative electrode current collector, a plurality of first layers, and a second layer. Each of the first layers comprises a first negative electrode active material of at least one of elemental silicon, a silicon alloy, and a silicon oxide, and a first conductive material. The second layer comprises a second negative electrode active material of graphite and does not comprise silicon. In the cross-sectional configuration, the surface of one side of the negative electrode current collector has a plurality of first regions and a second region between the first regions, the first layers are in contact with the respective first regions, and the second layer is in contact with both the second region and surfaces of one side of the first layers.
