A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes at least an electrode composite material layer, an intermediate layer, and an electrode current collector. Intermediate layer is interposed between electrode composite material layer and electrode current collector. Intermediate layer contains at least insulating particles and conductive particles. Each insulating particle has an arc shape in a cross section of intermediate layer along a thickness direction. More conductive particles are present on an outer-circumference side of each arc shape than on an inner-circumference side of the arc shape. 1. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising at least:an electrode composite material layer;an intermediate layer; andan electrode current collector,the intermediate layer being interposed between the electrode composite material layer and the electrode current collector,the intermediate layer containing at least insulating particles and conductive particles, each insulating particle having an arc shape, and', 'more conductive particles being present on an outer-circumference side of each arc shape than on an inner-circumference side of the arc shape., 'within a cross section of the intermediate layer along a thickness direction,'}2. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , whereinthe arc shape comprises an outer-circumference line and an inner-circumference line,a region with a width of 1 μm extending from the outer-circumference line in a direction away from the inner-circumference line is defined as an outer-circumference region, a region with a width of 1 μm extending from the inner-circumference line in a direction away from the outer-circumference line is defined as an inner-circumference region,the conductive particles have a first concentration in the outer-circumference region, the conductive particles have a second concentration in the inner-circumference region, anda ratio of the first concentration to the second ...
