A lithium ion secondary battery negative electrode slurry composition comprising a negative electrode active material, a thickening agent, a binder of polymer particles and water, wherein the negative electrode active material includes a carbon material and the carbon material has a graphite interlayer distance (an interplanar spacing (d value) of the (002) plane as determined by an X-ray diffraction method) of 0.340 to 0.370 nm, the thickening agent is a polymer having a degree of polymerization of 1400 to 3000, the polymer particles are obtained by polymerizing a monomer composition including 1 to 10 wt % of a monocarboxylic acid monomer, and an amount of acid groups on the surface of the polymer particles as determined by a conductivity titration is 0.1 to 1.0 mmol per 1 g of the polymer particles. |
