Abstract

An electrode material for a lithium ion secondary battery of the present invention is an electrode material for a lithium ion secondary battery including an electrode active material and a carbonaceous film that coats a surface of the electrode active material, in which a hydroxy group and a group which is at least one selected from a carboxyl group, a nitro group, and a sulfo group have been introduced to an outermost surface of the carbonaceous film, a ratio of a total count number of the group which is at least one selected from the carboxyl group, the nitro group, and the sulfo group to a count number of the hydroxy group is 0.001 or more and 10.000 or less when a surface of the carbonaceous film is analyzed through time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry to obtain the ratio, a coating ratio of the carbonaceous film is set to 40% or more and 90% or less, and the carbonaceous film has at least one through-hole per 100 square nanometers.
