The battery comprises a positive electrode which has a positive electrode active material compound layer containing a positive electrode active material formed on a positive electrode current collector; a negative electrode which has at least one negative electrode thin film layer and at least one negative electrode active material compound layer, on a negative electrode current collector, and a non-aqueous electrolyte containing an electrolyte salt. The negative electrode thin film layer contains at least one Group 14 element, and is formed by a thin-film formation technology, and the negative electrode active material compound layer contains a binder and a negative electrode active material, which contains at least any one of Sn, Si, Sn compound, Si compound and carbonaceous material. With this negative electrode, the negative electrode thin film layer containing a high-capacity Group 14 element raises the battery capacity, and the negative electrode active material compound layer provides excellent charge/discharge cycle characteristics while suppressing degradation of the negative electrode even under repetitive charge/discharge.
