A negative active material for a rechargeable lithium battery and a rechargeable lithium battery that includes the negative active material. The negative active material includes a first active material, which includes tertiary particles of natural graphite in which secondary particles are agglomerated. Primary particles are agglomerated and spheroidized in the secondary particles. Artificial graphite is positioned on a surface of the primary particles and a surface of the secondary particles. An amorphous carbon coating layer surrounds the tertiary particles of natural graphite. Further, the negative active material includes a second active material, which includes a carbon-based material having an aspect ratio of about 2 to about 100.

Negative active material and rechargeable lithium battery including same

A negative active material for a rechargeable lithium battery and a rechargeable lithium battery including the same are disclosed, and the negative active material includes a primary particle of a crystalline carbon-based material and secondary particle that is an assembly of the primary particles, wherein a ratio of an average particle diameter (D50) of the secondary particle relative to an average particle diameter (D50) of the primary particle (average particle diameter (D50) of the secondary particle/average particle diameter (D50) of the primary particle) ranges from about 1.5 to about 5 and an aspect ratio of the primary particle ranges from about 1 to about 7.
