Abstract: The present invention is to provide a binder composition of a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, which contains a vinylidene fluoride polymer and is capable of further enhancing adhesive strength of the electrode mixture layer to a surface of a current collector. The above objective can be achieved by a binder composition of a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, the binder composition comprising a vinylidene fluoride copolymer for a binder of a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, the vinylidene fluoride copolymer containing: a first constituent unit derived from vinylidene fluoride, and a second constituent unit containing an isocyanate group or having a structure that produces an isocyanate group when heated at 200° C. for 1 hour. This binder composition can be used in a mixture for producing an electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, an electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, and a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery.

Abstract: The present invention provides a gel-like electrolyte having excellent electrolyte solution retention ability. The resin composition contains an electrolyte composition containing a solvent and an electrolyte and a vinylidene fluoride copolymer. The vinylidene fluoride copolymer is a copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and a comonomer represented by Formula (1) below, wherein R1 and R2 are each independently a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom, R3 is a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, or an alkyl group having from 1 to 5 carbons, and R4 is a basic group that is capable of forming an intermolecular hydrogen bond.

Abstract: Provided is a battery negative electrode material exhibiting both a merit of high specific capacity obtained by using Si, and a merit of high cycle durability obtained by using a non-graphitizable carbon material. Specifically, provided is a negative electrode material (1) of a battery that includes silicon material areas (10) made of a silicon material, and a carbon material area (20) made of a carbon material. The carbon material area (20) is formed in a surrounding area of the silicon material area (10), separated by a cavity (30) at least at a portion. In addition, an (002) average interlayer spacing d002 of the carbon material area (20) determined by powder X-ray diffraction is from 0.365 nm to 0.390 nm.
