Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery which enables to suppress durability deterioration, improve energy density, and further suppress a decrease in the function of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery cell. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising: a positive electrode; and a negative electrode, wherein the negative electrode has: a current collector comprising a porous metal body; and a negative electrode material disposed in pores of the porous metal body, the negative electrode material comprises a negative electrode active material comprising a silicon-based material, a skeleton-forming agent comprising a silicate having a siloxane bond, a conductive auxiliary, and a binder, and a content of the skeleton-forming agent in an outside in a surface direction of the negative electrode is higher than a content of the skeleton-forming agent in an inside in the surface direction of the negative electrode.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising: a positive electrode; and a negative electrode, the negative electrode comprising: a current collector comprising a porous metal body; and a negative electrode material disposed in pores of the porous metal body, the negative electrode material comprising: a negative electrode active material comprising a silicon-based material; a skeleton-forming agent comprising a silicate having a siloxane bond; a conductive auxiliary; and a binder, the negative electrode having an outer portion and an inner portion in an in-plane direction, the outer portion having a skeleton-forming agent content higher than that of the inner portion, wherein the positive electrode has a buffer layer which is more easily deformable by external force as compared with other regions of the positive electrode in a region opposed to the negative electrode, and wherein the negative electrode has a non-deforming layer which is less easily deformable by external force as compared with other regions of the negative electrode in a region opposed to the positive electrode. 2 . The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the buffer layer comprises at least one of a carbon-based material and an organic conductive polymer. 3 . The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the non-deforming layer is an active material layer comprising at least one of a carbon-based material and lithium titanate. 4 . The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the skeleton-forming agent comprises a silicate represented by the following general formula (1): [Chem. 1] A 2 O· n SiO 2   formula (1) wherein A represents an alkali metal and n is 1.6 or more and 3.9 or less. 5 . The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the porous metal body is a foamed metal body.
