NEGATIVE ELECTRODE FOR NONAQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE SECONDARY BATTERY AND NONAQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE SECONDARY BATTERY

A negative electrode active substance layer of a negative electrode for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery herein disclosed includes at least a first negative electrode active substance and a second negative electrode active substance. The first negative electrode active substance is configured with an aggregated body of a scaly graphite whose surface of at least one part is covered with a low crystalline carbon. A graphite interlayer distance of the low crystalline carbon is equal to or more than 3.8 Å and not more than 5.0 Å. The second negative electrode active substance is a natural graphite or an artificial graphite whose graphite interlayer distance based on electron diffraction images by the transmission electron microscope is equal to or more than 3.35 Å and not more than 3.4 Å. Here, a mass ratio of the first negative electrode active substance and the second negative electrode active substance is 50:50 to 90:10.
