An object of the present invention is to provide a negative electrode for
a secondary battery which has large capacity and restrains a rise in
resistance inside the battery and reduction in capacity even after cycles
and the secondary battery using the same. A first active material layer
2a comprising members occluding and releasing Li onto a collector 1a is
formed and a second active material layer 3a as an alloy layer containing
metal forming alloy with lithium or lithium and metal not-forming alloy
with lithium is formed thereon. The secondary battery is constituted
using the negative electrode.
