Abstract
A negative electrode material for a lithium ion secondary battery, including composite particles, each of the composite particles including: a spherical graphite particle; and flat graphite particles that are gathered or bound together such that the flat graphite particles have non-parallel orientation planes, wherein the composite particles satisfy the following (1) and (2): (1) a pore volume in a range of a pore diameter of from 0.10 to 8.00 μm obtained by the mercury intrusion method is from 0.20 to 1.00 mL/g; and (2) in a log differential pore volume distribution obtained by the mercury intrusion method, at least two peaks appear in a range of a pore diameter of from 0.10 to 8.00 the two peaks including a first peak P1 and a second peak P2 at a higher diameter than the first peak P1.
