A secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolytic solution. The positive electrode includes a positive electrode active material particle. The positive electrode active material particle includes a layered rock-salt lithium composite oxide and a spinel metal oxide. The positive electrode active material particle has therein the spinel metal oxide provided on at least a surface of a particle including the layered rock-salt lithium composite oxide. The electrolytic solution includes a chain carboxylic acid ester and a cyclic ether.

Secondary battery

The secondary battery includes an electrolytic solution, a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and the negative electrode includes a plurality of particulate negative electrode active materials, a first negative electrode binder, and a plurality of second negative electrode binders with an average particle size smaller than the plurality of particulate negative electrode active materials. The plurality of particulate negative electrode active materials have an average particle size of 5 &#x3bc;m or more and 30 &#x3bc;m or less. The first negative electrode binder includes one or both of a styrene butadiene rubber and a derivative thereof.
