NOVELTY - The negative electrode (335) has a negative electrode compound layer (332) formed on a current collector (333) included with lower negative electrode compound layer (340) and upper negative electrode compound layer (341). The lower negative electrode compound layer with negative electrode active material is formed on current collector. The upper negative electrode compound layer with conducting material and binder is formed on lower negative electrode compound layer. A conducting aid and the binder are locally present on surface side of upper negative electrode compound layer.    USE - Negative electrode of non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery (claimed) such as coin-type lithium ion battery and cylindrical lithium ion battery for use as power supply of electronic devices. Uses include but are not limited to personal computer, cordless telephone handset, electronic book reader, mobile phone, portable copier, electronic diary, LCD TV, electric shaver, electronic card, domestic electric device such as refrigerator, air conditioner, water heater, oven microwave, dish washer, lighting device, and toys, electric power wheelchair, electric power bed, electric power bathing facility, medical device, construction machine, power storage system, elevator, and unmanned moving vehicle, electric vehicle, golf cart, turret car etc.    ADVANTAGE - The increase in irreversible capacity of battery can be suppressed by forming compound layer with carbon and binder and the rate capability can be improved by limiting the content of the carbon in the current collector. Thus the reliability of battery quality can be increased.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery;    (2) battery module; and    (3) a method of manufacturing non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery negative electrode.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a cross-sectional view of the coin-type lithium ion battery.
