A negative electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte with a negative electrode mixture layer that includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer is formed on the negative electrode current collector and includes a negative electrode active material and a first binding agent. The negative electrode active material in the first layer includes a carbon material A and a Si-containing compound. The first binding agent includes polyacrylic acid or a salt thereof. The second layer is formed on the first layer and includes a negative electrode active material and a second binding agent. The negative electrode active material in the second layer includes a carbon material B. The carbon material B has a tap density higher than a tap density of the carbon material A. A packing density of the second layer is lower than a packing density of the first layer.
