Abstract
A lithium secondary battery includes an electrode assembly having a positive electrode (1), a negative electrode (2) having a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer formed on a surface of the negative electrode current collector and composed of a binder and negative electrode active material particles containing silicon and/or a silicon alloy, and a separator (3) interposed between the electrodes. The electrode assembly is impregnated with a non-aqueous electrolyte. The binder contains a polyimide resin represented by the following chemical formula (1):
where R contains at least a benzene ring, and n is within the range of from 10 to 100,000, and the negative electrode active material particles have an average particle size of 5 μm or greater.
