Patent number: 9590239Abstract: Provided is a negative electrode for a nonaqueous secondary battery which achieves both suppression of reductive decomposition of an electrolyte or an electrolytic solution and suppression of an increase in resistance. Also provided are a method for producing such a negative electrode and a nonaqueous secondary battery employing such a negative electrode.
