Abstract

A negative electrode active material mainly contains silicon and silicon oxide. In the negative electrode active material, an Ar-laser Raman spectrum thereof includes a peak A corresponding to 950±30 cm −1 and a peak B corresponding to 480±30 cm −1 , and an intensity ratio of the peak B to the peak A (B/A) is in the range of 1 to 10.

Claims (9)

1. A negative electrode active material mainly comprising silicon and silicon oxide, wherein:

when measured with an Ar-ion laser with a wavelength of 514.532 nm as a laser source, an Ar-laser Raman spectrum of the negative electrode active material includes a peak A corresponding to 950 ±30 cm -1 and a peak B corresponding to 480 ±30cm -1 ; and

an intensity ratio of the peak B to the peak A (B/A) is in the range of 1 to 10.

2. The negative electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a sum of the mass of silicon and the mass of silicon oxide to a total mass of the negative electrode active material is 95 mass% or more.

3. The negative electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein the Ar-laser Raman spectrum includes at least one of a peak C corresponding to 1050 ±30 cm -1 , a peak D corresponding to 1100 ±30 cm -1 , and a peak E corresponding to 1170 ±30 cm -1 .

4. The negative electrode active material according to claim 3 , wherein the peak A has the highest intensity among the peaks A to E.

5. The negative electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio B/A is in the range of 3.5 to 5.9.

6. A negative electrode comprising a negative electrode active material according to claim 1 .

7. A lithium ion secondary battery comprising an electrode according to claim 6 .
