Abstract

A negative electrode material for a lithium-ion secondary battery contains graphitic particles of which a standard deviation of circularity at a cumulative frequency ranging from 10% by particle to 90% by particle from the lower circularity, determined by a flow-type particle analyzer, is from 0.05 to 0.1.

Claims (10)

1. A negative electrode material for a lithium-ion secondary battery, comprising graphitic particles of which a standard deviation of circularity at a cumulative frequency ranging from 10% by particle to 90% by particle from a lower circularity, determined by a flow-type particle analyzer, is from 0.05 to 0.1.

2. The negative electrode material for a lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the circularity at a cumulative frequency of 10% by particle of the graphitic particles is from 0.7 to 0.9.

3. The negative electrode material for a lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein an average particle size of the graphitic particles is from 2 μm to 30 μm.

4. The negative electrode material for a lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a Raman R value (ID/IG), which is a ratio of a peak intensity ID within a range of from 1300 cm- 1 to 1400 cm- 1 to a peak intensity IG within a range of from 1580 cm −1 to 1620 cm −1 , upon irradiating the graphitic particles with laser light at 532 nm is from 0.10 to 0.60.

5. The negative electrode material for a lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , further comprising amorphous carbon particles, wherein a standard deviation of circularity at a cumulative frequency ranging from 10% by particle to 90% by particle from a lower circularity of mixed particles of the graphitic particles and the amorphous carbon particles, determined by a flow-type particle analyzer, is from 0.05 to 0.1.

6. The negative electrode material for a lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 5 , wherein a content of the amorphous carbon particles in the negative electrode material is from 1% by mass to 30% by mass.

7. A negative electrode for a lithium-ion secondary battery, comprising:

a current collector; and

a negative electrode material layer that is provided on or above the current collector and that comprises the negative electrode material for a lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 .

8. A lithium-ion secondary battery, comprising the negative electrode for a lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 7 .
