An object is to provide a high capacity non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery in which decomposition of propylene carbonate is suppressed. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes: a negative electrode including graphite particles as a negative electrode active material; a positive electrode; a separator; and a non-aqueous electrolyte including propylene carbonate as a non-aqueous solvent. Each of the graphite particles has a surface portion including an amorphous region and a crystal region which includes a plurality of carbon hexagonal net planes stacked along a surface of the graphite particle. Ends of the stacked carbon hexagonal net planes form loops exposed on the surface of the graphite particle. At least a part of the loops are stacked, and the average number of the loops stacked is more than 1 and not more than 2.
