This invention provides a metal encapsulated dendritic carbon nanostructure comprising a dendritic carbon nanostructure comprising a branched carbon-containing rod-shaped or annular material and a metallic body capsulated in the carbon nanostructure. There is also provided a dendritic carbon nanostructure comprising a branched carbon-containing rod-shaped or annular material.

Metal encapsulated dendritic carbon nanostructure, carbon nanostructure, process for producing metal encapsulated dendritic carbon nanostructure, process for producing carbon nanostructure, and capacitor

A negative electrode used for a nonaqueous electrolyte solution battery having nonaqueous electrolyte solution containing lithium ion includes a metal carbon composite material. The metal carbon composite material has a porous carbon material having cavities, and a metal material made of metal to reversibly store or emit lithium ion. The metal material is arranged on a surface of the porous carbon material including inner surfaces of the cavities. The porous carbon material has a mass of 1-65 mass % when the metal carbon composite material is defined to have a mass of 100 mass %.
