Abstract

To provide a negative electrode for a secondary battery and a secondary battery having a large energy density and a capacity less likely to reduce even after repeated charging and discharging, and manufacturing methods thereof. The above-described problem is solved by a negative electrode for a secondary battery (3) comprising a negative electrode active material layer (3′) including at least a silicon-based active material and a binder, and a negative electrode current collector (14) having a structural form in which the silicon-based active material has an amorphous region including lithium and island-shaped lithium carbonate is distributed in the amorphous region. This negative electrode for a secondary battery (3) is manufactured by a method including a step of forming a negative electrode active material layer (3′) including a Si-based active material and a binder, and a predoping step of bringing an electrolytic solution (5) containing Li into contact with the negative electrode active material layer (3′), applying pressure, and introducing Li ions by an electrochemical method.
