Abstract
An anode material consisting of non-graphitizable carbon material obtained by baking a carbon precursor is disclosed. In this non-graphitizable carbon material, a ratio by weight of carbon Ps in a stacking structure as determined from diffraction peak originating in a (002) crystal lattice plane and X-ray diffraction spectrum components on the lower angle side with respect to the diffraction peak originating in the (002) crystal lattice plane of X-ray diffraction spectrum is smaller than 0.59, or the stacking index SI thereof is smaller than 0.76. Moreover, an average number of carbon layers n.sub.ave in a stacking structure is smaller than 2.46. Alternatively, when the baking temperature is T.degree.C. and the half width at half maximum of the peak appearing in the vicinity of 1340 cm.sup.-1 in the Raman spectrum is HW, the condition expressed below is satisfied.
