NEGATIVE ELECTRODE FOR LITHIUM ION SECONDARY BATTERY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive negative electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery which has excellent charge/discharge cycle characteristics and can be manufactured by a low cost method, and also to provide a method of manufacturing the same.SOLUTION: A current collection plate is made of metal foil having particulate tin plating on at least one surface. A negative electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery is characterized in that an average diameter in the current collection plate surface direction of the particulate tin plating is 0.5 μm or more and 20 μm or less, a lower part of the particulate tin plating forms an alloy layer with metal constituting a current collection plate, the area coverage ratio of the current collection plate formed by tin plating is 60% or more and 90% or less, the total attached amount of tin plating exceeds 3 g/mand is 20 g/mor less, and the attached mount of alloyed tin is 0.2 g/mor more and 2 g/mor less.
