Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A negative electrode active material containing a negative electrode active material particle which includes a silicon compound particle containing a silicon compound (SiOx: 0.5≤x≤1.6). The silicon compound particle has three or more peaks in a chemical shift value ranging from −40 ppm to −120 ppm but has no peak in a chemical shift value within a range of −65±3 ppm in a spectrum obtained from 29Si-MAS-NMR of the silicon compound particle. This provides a negative electrode active material capable of improving cycle characteristics when it is used as a negative electrode active material for a secondary battery.

The invention claimed is: 1. A negative electrode active material containing a negative electrode active material particle that has a surface layer portion containing a carbon material; the negative electrode active material particle comprising a silicon compound particle containing a silicon compound (SiO x : 0.5≤x≤1.6), wherein: the silicon compound particle has three or more peaks in a chemical shift value ranging from −40 ppm to −120 ppm but has no peak in a chemical shift value within a range of −65±3 ppm in a spectrum obtained from 29 Si-MAS-NMR of the silicon compound particle, and the silicon compound particle has a BET specific surface area that is in a range of 8 m 2 /g or less. 2. The negative electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein the silicon compound particle has a BET specific surface area that is in a range of 6.5 m 2 /g or less. 3. The negative electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein an average thickness of the carbon material is 5 nm or more and 5000 nm or less. 4. A mixed negative electrode active material comprising: the negative electrode active material according to claim 1 ; and a carbon-based active material. 5. A mixed negative electrode active material comprising: the negative electrode active material according to claim 2 ; and a carbon-based active material. 6. A mixed negative electrode active material comprising: the negative electrode active material according to claim 3 ; and a carbon-based active material. 7. A method of producing a negative electrode active material containing a negative electrode active material particle including a silicon compound particle, comprising the steps of: preparing silicon compound particles each containing a silicon compound (SiO x : 0.5≤x≤1.6); selecting, from the silicon compound particles, a silicon compound particle which has three or more peaks in a chemical shift value ranging from −40 ppm to −120 ppm but has no peak in a chemical shift value within a range of −65±3 ppm in a spectrum obtained by 29 Si-MAS-NMR; using the selected silicon compound particle to prepare a negative electrode active material particle; and using the prepared negative electrode active material particle to produce a negative electrode active material. 8. The negative electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein the silicon compound particle has a BET specific surface area that is in a range of 3.2 m 2 /g or more and 8 m 2 /g or less.
