Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide a carbon-based negative electrode material which can be used with an electrolyte containing PC as a main ingredient, a carbon-based negative electrode material having a graphene layer structure is crystalline and has pores. That is, the crystal structure of the carbon-based negative electrode material is distorted more significantly than that of graphite. Accordingly, the carbon-based negative electrode material has a larger interlayer distance between graphenes than graphite. It has been shown that such a negative electrode material can be used for a secondary battery which contains an electrolyte containing PC as a main ingredient.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A secondary battery comprising: a negative electrode including a carbon-based material having a graphene layer structure; and an electrolyte, wherein the solvent of the electrolyte consists essentially of propylene carbonate, and wherein the carbon-based material has crystallinity and pores. 2. The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein diameters of the pores of the carbon-based material range from 2 nm to 4 nm.…
