Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a negative electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes the following. A negative electrode composite material layer including a planar region and a side-surface region is formed. An application material is prepared by mixing heat-resistant particles, thermoplastic resin particles, and a solvent. A planar coating film is formed by applying the application material to the planar region and a side-surface coating film is formed by applying the application material to the side-surface region. At least some of the thermoplastic resin particles are molten into a melt by heating the planar coating film at a temperature not lower than a melting point of the thermoplastic resin particles. A negative electrode is manufactured by drying the planar coating film containing the melt and the side-surface coating film containing the thermoplastic resin particles at a temperature lower than the melting point of the thermoplastic resin particles.

Claim (Index 5):
A method of manufacturing a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising:\n manufacturing the negative electrode with the method of manufacturing a negative electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to  claim 1 ; manufacturing a positive electrode including a positive electrode composite material layer; forming an electrode group by stacking the positive electrode and the negative electrode such that the positive electrode composite material layer and the planar coating film are opposed to each other; and manufacturing a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery by impregnating the electrode group with an electrolyte.
