Negative electrode for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery and nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery having the negative electrode

摘要

A negative electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery and a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery including the negative electrode. The negative electrode is made from aluminum powder or aluminum alloy powder coated with carbon and a conductive polymer. Since aluminum or aluminum alloy has a theoretical maximum capacity as high as 1200 mAh/g, a battery having aluminum or aluminum alloy as the negative electrode material has a high capacity.
