Abstract: An electricity storage device including at least one electrode having one metal tab lead and plural electrode plates. The electrode plate includes a metal foil, an undercoat layer formed on one surface or both surfaces of the metal foil, and an active material layer formed on a surface of the undercoat layer. The undercoat layer includes a carbon material and the undercoat layer has a coating weight per unit area of one surface of 0.01 to 3 g/m2. A sum total thickness of the metal foils in the electrode plates is 0.2 to 2 mm. The electrode plates are welded to each other in a portion where the undercoat layer is formed and no active material layer is formed. Further, at least one of the electrode plates is welded to the metal tab lead in a portion where the undercoat layer is formed and no active material layer is formed.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a secondary battery capable of rapid charging and discharging at a high current, in which, even when a titanium-containing oxide is used as a negative electrode active material, the internal resistance and impedance of the secondary battery are low without adding a material, which does not contribute to electrical capacity, such as a conductive assistant to a negative electrode active material layer in a large amount. Provided is a negative electrode for a secondary battery including: metal foil; and a negative electrode active material layer that is formed on a single surface or both surfaces of the metal foil and includes a titanium-containing oxide as a negative electrode active material, in which a film containing a conductive material is formed between the metal foil and the negative electrode active material layer.
