NOVELTY - The method involves providing a negative electrode including a negative-electrode mixture layer including a negative-electrode active material and a binder containing a group consisting of a polyimide, a polyamide-imide and a polyamide. The negative-electrode mixture slurry including the binder and the negative-electrode active material are applied onto the surface of the negative-electrode collector. A heated hot-press roller is pressed (S304) such that the temperature of the negative-electrode collector coated with the negative-electrode mixture slurry is 150 to 300 degrees C.    USE - Method of manufacturing negative electrode for lithium-ion secondary battery (claimed) for use in electric vehicle.    ADVANTAGE - The mass-productivity of the negative electrode for the lithium-ion secondary battery is improved and the manufacturing facility is simplified. The reduction in each adhesiveness and the adhesion uniformity of the binder as a component of the negative electrode is prevented and the cycle life of the battery is improved. Since the trimming is performed to provide an uncoated-portion having a certain width for welding of the current collector, the occurrence of creases due to stress exerted on a coating edge is prevented. The amount of the active material in the laminated electrode group is increased.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) a negative electrode for a lithium-ion secondary battery;    (2) a lithium-ion secondary battery; and    (3) an apparatus for manufacturing a negative electrode for a lithium-ion secondary battery.
