Abstract

A graphite-based negative electrode active material including a first graphite particle being spheroidized and a second graphite particle having a roundness lower than the roundness of the first graphite particle, wherein the content of the second graphite particle based on the sum of the first graphite particle and the second graphite particle is in the range of 1 to 30% by mass, the ratio of a median particle diameter (D) to a particle diameter at 5 cumulative % (D), D/D, in a cumulative distribution of the first graphite particle is smaller than the ratio of a median particle diameter (D) to a particle diameter at 5 cumulative % (D), D/D, in a cumulative distribution of the second graphite particle, and the tap density in saturation of the particle mixture of the first graphite particle and the second graphite particle is higher than both the tap density in saturation of the first graphite particle and the tap density in saturation of the second graphite particle.
