Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a graphite-based negative electrode active material that can impart both high output characteristics and high cycle characteristics to a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery. The graphite-based negative electrode active material disclosed herein is made up of particles having, in a cross-sectional view, a flat central portion made up of graphite, and a porous accumulation portion made up of accumulated graphite, on both sides of the flat central portion. The graphite that makes up the flat central portion is present more densely than the graphite that makes up the porous accumulation portion.
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A graphite-based negative electrode active material made up of particles which comprise, in a cross-sectional view, a flat central portion made up of graphite; and a porous accumulation portion made up of accumulated graphite, on both sides of the flat central portion, wherein the graphite that makes up the flat central portion is present more densely than the graphite that makes up the porous accumulation portion, and a pore volume for a range of pore diameter from 0.01 μm to 0.1 μm is not less than 0.025 mL/g but not more than 0.045 mL/g. 2. The graphite-based negative electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein an average aspect ratio of the flat central portion is not less than 1.8 but not more than 12. 3. The graphite-based negative electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the thickness of the porous accumulation portion relative to a minor diameter of the flat central portion is not less than 1.25 but not more than 2.5. 4. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte, wherein the negative electrode includes the graphite-based negative electrode active material according to claim 1 .
