Patent number: 11101464Abstract: A negative electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery having improved life characteristics, a binder for a negative electrode of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, and a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery. The negative electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to an embodiment includes a current collector, and a mixture layer formed on the current collector and having an active material and a binder. In the binder, an intermolecular chain network in which crosslinking by irreversible bonding and crosslinking by reversible bonding are mixed is formed. For example, a crosslinking treatment is applied to the binder.
