Abstract
A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes an electrode assembly having a high-density positive electrode in which a positive electrode active material layer is formed on at least one surface of a positive electrode current collector, a high-density negative electrode in which a negative electrode active material layer is formed on at least one surface of a negative electrode current collector, and a separator interposed between the positive and negative electrodes, and has a structure in which the electrode assembly is impregnated with a nonaqueous electrolyte, wherein the specific surface area per unit area of the positive electrode active material layer of the positive electrode is 0.5 to 1.0 times the specific surface area per unit area of the negative electrode active material layer of the negative electrode which opposes the positive electrode with the separator sandwiched between them.
