A negative electrode material for a lithium secondary cell comprises carbonaceous particles consisting essentially of carbon fiber particles prepared by pulverizing pitch-based carbon fibers, wherein the layer spacing d between the carbon layers is less than 0.338 nm, the average particle size is 5-200 .mu.m, the fiber diameter of the pitch-based carbon fibers is 5-30 .mu.m, and the aspect ratio of the carbon fiber particles is 100 or less, the layer spacing d determined based on X-ray diffraction of the carbon fiber particles. A lithium secondary cell contains such a negative electrode material.

Rubber-reinforcing fiber cords are disclosed which are constituted by at least one kind of fibers selected from a group consisting of aromatic polyamide fibers, entire aromatic polyester fibers and polyvinylalcohol fibers having a tenacity of not less than 15 g/d. Spaces among filaments constituting the cord are each impreganted with a rubbery material. Radial tires are also disclosed which each comprise at least one pair of bead wires, at least one carcass ply cord layer and at least one belt ply cord layer. Carcass ply cords and/or belt ply cords are constituted by the above rubber-reinforcing fiber cords.

This invention relates to a process for enriching carbon 13 by mixing a halogenomethane containing one or more fluorine atoms and carbon 13 of natural isotopic abundance with one or two or more additive gases selected from a group of oxygen-containing oxidizing agents, halogens, and hydrogen halides, irradiating the resulting raw material gas mixture by a carbon dioxide laser to cause selective dissociation and reaction of the halogenomethane of carbon 13, separating the unchanged substances from the reaction mixture to obtain a product enriched with carbon 13, further converting the enriched product to carbon monoxide, and enriching carbon 13 by low-temperature distillation of the carbon monoxide. The process has advantages of low overall energy consumption, high yields of carbon 13, easy separability of the unchanged substances and high degrees of carbon 13 enrichment.

A graphite intercalation compound enjoying high stability is produced by a method characterized by using a previously synthesized acceptor type graphite intercalation compound as a raw material and intercalating therein a substance different from the substance intercalated in the graphite intercalation compound and capable of forming an acceptor type graphite intercalation compound. The representative substance to the newly intercalated in the production mentioned above is a metal halide selected from the group consisting of ferric chloride, cupric chloride, aluminum chloride, cobalt chloride, nickel chloride, calcium chloride, barium chloride, silver chloride, zinc chloride, zirconium chloride, molybdenum chloride, tantalum chloride, and hafnium chloride.

In the production of a graphite intercalation compound in which the intercalant is a metal chloride, the reaction is carried out in the presence of a second metal chloride of a relatively low boiling point to effect a notable reduction in the reaction time. In the production of a metal chloride intercalation compound which normally requires an atmosphere of chlorine, the addition of the second metal chloride permits the reaction to proceed in the absence of chlorine gas.
