Patent ID: 11316147

Abstract:
A negative electrode active material includes: particles of negative electrode active material, the particles of negative electrode active material contain particles of silicon compound containing a silicon compound (SiOx:0.5≤x≤1.6); the particles of silicon compound contain at least one kind or more of Li2SiO3 and Li4SiO4; the particles of negative electrode active material contain Li2CO3 and LiOH on a surface thereof; and a content of the Li2CO3 is 0.01% by mass or more and 5.00% by mass or less relative to a mass of the particles of negative electrode active material and a content of the LiOH is 0.01% by mass or more and 5.00% by mass or less relative to the mass of the particles of negative electrode active material. Thus a negative electrode active material is capable of improving initial charge/discharge characteristics and the cycle characteristics when used as a negative electrode active material of the secondary battery.
