Iron oxide powder, composition, ceramics, iron oxide powder precursor, method for producing iron oxide powder precursor, and method for producing iron oxide powder

This invention relates to an anode active material comprising at least one iron oxide selected from the group consisting of amorphous iron oxides, ferrihydrite, and lepidocrocite. The invention also relates to a lithium ion secondary battery anode material comprising the anode active material as a constituent component, a lithium ion secondary battery anode comprising the lithium ion secondary battery anode material, and a lithium ion secondary battery comprising the lithium ion secondary battery anode.

Negative electrode active material and use of same

Disclosed is an organic-inorganic composite material obtained by chemically modifying a microorganism-derived ceramic material with an organic group, and a process for producing the organic-inorganic composite material. The process is characterized by reacting a microorganism-derived ceramic material with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of silane coupling agents represented by formula (1), silane coupling agents represented by formula (2), and titanate coupling agents represented by formula (3). The organic-inorganic complex can be used in applications for immobilized catalysts and immobilized enzyme catalysts.

Organic-inorganic composite material and process for producing same
