An anode for a secondary battery capable of inserting and extracting a
lithium ion having a multi-layered structure including a first anode
layer containing carbon as a main component; a second anode layer made of
a film-like material through which a lithium component passes; and a
third anode layer containing lithium and/or a lithium-containing compound
as a main component. The battery capacity of the lithium ion battery is
substantially increased while the higher charge-discharge efficiency and
the stable cycle performance are maintained.
