Abstract
A process is provided for the production of a carbonaceous material. The process comprises the following steps: subjecting a vacuum distillation residual pitch to heat treatment until the content of quinoline-insoluble components thereof becomes 50 to 85 wt. %, whereby the pitch is converted into a mesophase pitch; grinding the thus-obtained mesophase pitch into fine particles having an aspect ratio not greater than 2; subjecting the thus-ground product to oxidation treatment; and subjecting the thus-oxidized product to carbonization or graphitization treatment. A lithium ion secondary battery comprises a negative pole made of the carbonaceous material.
