    TECHNICAL PROCESS OF MATERIAL FOR LITHIUM-ION SECONDARY BATTERIES, MATERIAL OBTAINED BY THE PROCESS, AND BATTERIES
    The present invention provides a method for producing a high-performance carbonaceous material, in particular boron substituted graphite, silicon-containing boron substituted graphite and silicon-containing carbonaceous material as a negative electrode material for a lithium ion secondary battery, boron substituted graphite obtained by this method, silicon-containing boron The present invention relates to a lithium ion secondary battery using substituted graphite and silicon-containing carbonaceous materials, and boron substituted graphite, silicon-containing boron-substituted graphite, and silicon-containing carbonaceous materials as constituent materials of the negative electrode.
    In recent years, miniaturization and weight reduction of electronic devices and communication devices have been rapidly progressed, and the demand for miniaturization and light weight is also strong for secondary batteries used as driving power sources thereof. Lithium ion secondary batteries have been proposed. Lithium ion secondary batteries use lithium cobalt oxide for the positive electrode, for example, carbonaceous materials such as graphite for the negative electrode, absorb lithium ions in the negative electrode during charging, and store these lithium ions in the negative electrode during discharge. To release from.
    Carbonaceous raw materials or resins such as MCMB (meso carbon microbeads) or mesophase pitch fine particles derived from petroleum or coal-based heavy oils are carbonized or graphitized. It cannot be said that a high discharge capacity is obtained, and the initial efficiency is not so high.
    In order to solve these problems, the carbonaceous material to which boron was added is examined in various ways. In 1992, JRDahn (Phys. Rev. B. Vo 1.45, No. 7,3773 (1992)) added about 8% by weight of boron oxide in terms of boron to artificial graphite, and graphitized under nitrogen atmosphere. Although boron-substituted graphite is examined as a host material of lithium intercalate, this document does not describe characteristics as actual batteries such as discharge capacity and initial efficiency.
    In addition, the contents described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-266880 are merely graphitized by simply adding boron to an organic material, which is a raw material of graphite, instead of adding boron oxide to artificial graphite as described above. It is no different from the content of the said document.
    In addition, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 8-31422, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-63584, and the like have a graphitization temperature in order to limit the raw material of graphite to be produced to a pitch or to prevent an increase in the particle diameter of the graphite. Although the present invention may be limited to this condition, an optimum carbonaceous material cannot be obtained as a negative electrode material for a lithium ion battery. In addition, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-31422 indicates that boron carbide remaining in the obtained carbonaceous material causes a decrease in its discharge capacity when the material is used as a negative electrode of a battery. It only controls the amount of the boron compound to add, and likewise, it cannot be said to be an optimal carbonaceous material as a negative electrode material for lithium ion batteries.
    In addition, regarding the industrial production of these boron substituted graphite, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-162829 discloses that the graphitized carbonaceous material is formed by boron nitride produced in the surface layer after graphitizing the carbonaceous material under a nitrogen atmosphere. It is disclosed that the reduction is performed by treatment under reduced pressure at 2,000 ° C. or higher or by halogen treatment.
    However, performing such a treatment is complicated by the apparatus used in view of industrially producing a negative electrode material, and requires a high cost. Therefore, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-255799 discloses dispersing a boron compound in a soft-melted pitch to avoid contact between the nitrogen atmosphere and the boron compound, but it is very difficult to completely wrap the boron compound in a pitch. Therefore, the effect is questionable. The above-mentioned publications mention nothing about atmospheric gases when graphitizing carbonaceous materials, and most of them merely describe graphitization of carbonaceous materials under 'inert atmosphere'.
    The carbonaceous material which substituted boron or added boron with respect to these boron substituted graphite is disclosed by Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 3-245458. However, the carbonaceous material disclosed in this publication is only treated until carbonization, and is completely different from boron substituted graphite in which a part of the carbon of graphite described above is replaced with boron.
    Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 7-73898 discloses graphite or amorphous graphite in which a part of carbon atoms is substituted with boron as a carbonaceous material. However, this carbonaceous material also has a graphite interlayer distance (d 2 ) of 0.337 nm or more due to X-ray diffraction, and when this is used as a negative electrode material of a battery, the charge / discharge curve as a battery is different from that of graphite. It is a material different from the boron substituted graphite in which a part of carbon of graphite mentioned above is substituted with boron.
    In addition, the carbonaceous material substituted with these boron or the addition of boron is boron source gas and carbon source gas, as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-73898 or Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-333601 and the like. It is synthesized by the CVD method using a mixed gas of, and when industrial production is considered, these methods are not practical in cost.
    In addition to these carbonaceous materials to which boron is added, various studies have been made on carbonaceous materials to which silicon is added. It is known that silicon alloys with a lithium atom, and it is about 4,017 mAh / g as a specific amount. However, these silicon-lithium alloys have a large irreversible capacity and there is a problem in their stability due to the volume expansion caused by alloying.
    In order to solve this problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-315822 discloses an atom of an element that forms an alloy with lithium such as silicon without changing the structure of the region formed in the host material in graphitized carbonaceous material. The assembled material is proposed. However, in order to manufacture these materials, expensive synthesis methods such as CVD methods are required, and since silicon is intercalated between carbons at the atomic level, there is no improvement in the problem of large irreversible capacity in a battery. .
    Although carbonaceous materials in which boron and silicon are mixed are disclosed in WO98 / 24134 or Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-40158, etc., these carbonaceous materials include graphite obtained by adding boron and silicon to a carbonaceous material. The improvement of discharge capacity is not large.
    Accordingly, the present invention provides a boron-substituted graphite and silicon-containing carbonaceous material that produces a flat discharge potential and guarantees higher energy density and higher discharge capacity than conventional carbonaceous materials when used in a lithium ion secondary battery. It aims to provide.
    In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that, after carbonizing the infused carbonaceous material in which the boron compound is added and mixed, the temperature is rapidly increased in an inert atmosphere that does not react with boron, and then quenched after graphitizing. Provided are a method for producing a boron substituted graphite for a lithium ion secondary battery having a small proportion of boron bonded to nitrogen, and a lithium ion secondary battery having a boron substituted graphite obtained by the method and a negative electrode composed of the boron substituted.
    In addition, the present invention is to add a silicon or silicon compound so as to 0.1 to 30% by weight of the total amount of the mixture in terms of silicon element relative to the graphitized material of the carbonaceous material and / or the high crystal graphite selected from natural graphite And a method for producing a silicon-containing carbonaceous material for a lithium ion secondary battery, characterized by heat treatment at 350 to 1,500 ° C, and a silicon-containing carbonaceous material obtained by this method and a cathode comprising the silicon-containing carbonaceous material. Provided is a lithium ion secondary battery.
    When the boron substituted graphite or silicon-containing carbonaceous material obtained by the present invention is used as a negative electrode material of a lithium ion secondary battery, flat discharge potential characteristics, excellent cycle characteristics, and higher energy density than conventional carbonaceous materials are used for this lithium ion secondary battery. And high discharge capacity.
    First, the present invention will be theoretically considered, but the present invention is not limited by the following theoretical considerations.
    In other words, as a general method for obtaining boron substituted graphite, the carbonaceous material is graphitized in the presence of a boron compound, as suggested by CELowel 1 [Journal of The American Ceramic Society Vo1.50, No. 3, 142 (1967)]. Is the simplest way. At this time, in order to uniformly replace a portion of the carbon atoms of the carbonaceous material with boron, it is important to mix the boron compound uniformly with the carbonaceous material. For that purpose, a method of reducing the particle diameter of the boron compound to be mixed, or adding and treating the boron compound in a liquid phase can be considered. In the present invention, a specific method of uniformly mixing the boron compound with the carbonaceous material will be described later in detail.
    The boron compound added to the carbonaceous material may be in any chemical form, such as inorganic boron compounds such as boron element, boric acid, boron oxide, boron carbide, and organic boron compounds. However, the carbonaceous material is preferably a material having good wettability with respect to the boron compound to be added, easy to produce carbide of boron, and easy to graphitize. The reason why the carbonaceous material is required is considered to be that the substitution employment of carbon by boron proceeds as follows.
    Regardless of the form of the boron compound added, when the mixture of the carbonaceous material and the boron compound is heated in an atmosphere that does not react with boron to raise the temperature, both of them first act to form boron carbide. At this time, the formation reaction rate of boron carbide varies greatly depending on the quality of the carbonaceous material used as the raw material. Therefore, about the carbonaceous material to be used, it is good to have wettability with respect to a boron compound, and to produce carbide of boron easily. Each interface of the produced boron carbide has a region in which a solid solution of carbon and boron is formed as B 4 C 1-x (0 <x <0.65), from which boron forms a solid solution into the carbon structure. Diffusion while forming. This solid solution diffusion eliminates the crushing of the crystals of the resulting graphite, resulting in boron substituted graphite in which the graphite structure is developed.
    In order to develop said graphite structure, it is necessary for the carbonaceous material used as a raw material to be a material which is easy to graphitize. MEANS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM The present inventors earnestly examined the raw material carbonaceous material with a rapid formation rate of boron carbide and easy graphitization, and found that the high softening point pitch containing an optically isotropic part is optimal.
    In addition, the graphitization progresses by the above-mentioned substitution employment of carbon by boron, and in order to produce uniform boron substituted graphite, the atmospheric gas at the time of graphitization is the most important. In contrast, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Hei 10-162829 proposes to graphitize in a nitrogen atmosphere from the viewpoint of cost. As a result, boron nitride is formed by the reaction of a boron compound and nitrogen in the atmosphere. Existence only discloses the fact that the obtained graphite is used as a negative electrode material of a battery, which causes the battery characteristic to be lowered.
    The present inventors, however, are not only troubled with the presence of the produced boron nitride, but the formation reaction of this boron nitride during graphitization is a hindrance when the above-described boron solid solution diffuses into the carbon tissue, It was found that the production reaction was the cause for which no uniform boron substituted graphite was produced. Therefore, the graphitization temperature at the time of graphitizing a carbonaceous material is 2,200 degreeC or more, and it discovered that it is necessary to use it as an atmospheric gas at the time of graphitizing the inert atmosphere mentioned later which does not produce reaction with boron during a graphitization reaction. It was.
    The temperature rise time to the temperature at which the carbonaceous material is graphitized, the graphitization temperature, its holding time, and the cooling time after graphitization vary depending on the type of device and the amount of boron compound added. The temperature is raised to a temperature for graphitization within 100 hours, the graphitization temperature is 2,200 ℃ or more, the holding time is 0 to 48 hours. Thereafter, preferable results can be obtained by cooling the graphitization temperature to 100 ° C within 100 hours. In addition, when the boron compound (for example, boron carbide) or the produced boron carbide first added during the graphitization is melted at 2,400 ° C. or higher, the graphite particle diameter is increased. It is preferable to add high crystalline graphite which has an effect of slightly lowering the bulk density at the time of oxidization.
    The above cooling rate is in the sense that boron dissolved in the carbon structure reduces the amount of reprecipitation as B 4 C on the surface of the produced graphite fine particles, and causes the reprecipitation of such B 4 C to be as small as possible. very important. This is because, when graphite is used as a negative electrode material of a lithium ion secondary battery, B 4 C in graphite does not contribute to the reversible absorption storage of lithium ions, and also increases irreversible capacity or inhibits the conductivity of graphite. .
    The amount of B 4 C precipitated on the surface of the graphite fine particles can be determined by XPS. As a negative electrode material for a lithium ion secondary battery, there is a Bls peak attributable to substituted solid boron near 186 eV in the boron 1s spectrum, and further, 188eV. The ratio of boron obtained from the intensity ratio of the Bls peak attributable to boron in the vicinity of B 4 C needs to be 5 atomic% or less in the surface layer element detected by XPS, and this condition is controlled by controlling the cooling time as described above. Is satisfied.
    On the other hand, with respect to the silicon-containing carbonaceous material, silicon or a silicon compound is added to the high crystalline graphite selected from the graphitized material and / or natural graphite of the carbonaceous material or the boron substituted graphite of the present invention. It is produced by heat treatment at 350 to 1500 ° C. in an atmosphere or an unoxidized component atmosphere. Since this heat treatment produces a compound made of carbon, silicon, boron and oxygen, the silicon-containing carbonaceous material obtained has a low irreversible capacity which is unprecedented with only silicon single crystals and exhibits a large discharge capacity. However, the specific reason for this unexpected result is not clear.
    EXAMPLE
    Next, preferable embodiment of the manufacturing method of the boron substituted graphite of this invention is described in order of the manufacturing process. Moreover, the manufacturing method of a silicon-containing carbonaceous material is also demonstrated.
    1. Manufacturing method of boron substituted graphite
    a. Process of heat treatment by adding and mixing boron compound to carbonaceous material
    After the boron compound is added and dispersed in the raw material pitch and heat-treated, the softening point containing 5 to 98% by volume, preferably 10 to 95% by volume, of an optically isotropic portion having strong reducing power relative to the boron compound is 250 ° C or higher. Pitch. The boron compound to be dispersed in the raw material pitch may be either liquid or solid, but in the solid state, the thinner the particle diameter is, the more preferable it is to disperse uniformly in the pitch. For example, the average particle diameter is 50 µm or less. Preference is given to using the fine particles.
    The addition amount of the boron compound to the raw material pitch is added in a ratio of 0.1 to 7% by weight, preferably 1 to 5% by weight, in terms of boron element relative to the high softening point pitch generated by heat treatment. If the added amount of the boron compound in the boron element conversion is less than 0.1 wt%, the added boron compound volatilizes during the graphitization treatment of the subsequent step, and boron substituted graphite is not sufficiently produced. On the other hand, when the amount of the boron compound added in terms of boron element exceeds 7% by weight, B 4 C which is not dissolved in excess is generated in the resultant graphite, and the battery characteristics of the graphite from which B 4 C is obtained are lowered. Not suitable
    The raw material pitch used above is the residual content which further distilled under reduced pressure the coal tar which removed the hard powder by atmospheric distillation, and it is preferable that the softening point is 100-115 degreeC. When the softening point has a pitch of less than 100 ° C., many substances are pyrolyzed during heat treatment after addition of the boron compound, resulting in a long heat treatment time. In addition, when the softening point of the raw material pitch exceeds 115 ° C, the viscosity of the initial heat treatment after the addition of the boron compound is high, and the dispersion of the added boron compound is not preferable because it cannot be sufficiently performed within the heat treatment time.
    The boron compound-containing pitch is heat treated at 420 ° C or lower, preferably 380 to 400 ° C. Meanwhile, mechanical agitation of the melt pitch or agitation by inhalation of nitrogen gas through a plurality of nozzles from the bottom of the reactor is performed to maintain the temperature of the melt pitch uniformly, to prevent ubiquitous pitch components, and to further reduce boron compounds. Ensure dispersibility
    The above heat treatment is preferably performed by setting conditions such as a heating temperature, a heating time and a pressure such that the softening point of the heat treatment product is 250 ° C or higher, preferably 330 to 370 ° C. If the softening point of the heat treatment product is less than 250 ° C, the fine particles soften and melt at the time of incompatibility treatment by oxidation, which is the next step after the fine grinding of the heat treatment product (hereinafter referred to as 'oxidation treatment'), and the shape cannot be maintained. On the other hand, when the softening point of the heat treatment product exceeds 370 ° C, it is not preferable in terms of difficulty in handling such as removing the heat treatment material from the container after the heat treatment or increasing the aspect ratio of the fine particles obtained by pulverization, which is the next step.
    By adding the boron compound to the raw material pitch as described above, it is possible to produce a high softening point pitch exhibiting the tendency to graphitize containing 5 to 98% by volume of an optically isotropic portion having strong reducing power with respect to the boron compound. This is because the addition of the boron compound increases the viscosity of the mixture during heat treatment and inhibits the coalescence of the mesophase portions, which are optically anisotropic structures.
    The optically isotropic part of such a high softening point pitch has good wettability with respect to the added boron compound, is easy to produce carbide of boron, and the formation rate of boron substituted graphite is also fast. When the optically isotropic portion is less than 5% by volume, the overall boron substituted graphite is slow to form. In addition, when the optically isotropic part is larger than 98% by volume, it is inferior in graphitization.
    In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the boron compound is uniformly attached to high crystalline graphite, for example, natural graphite (thin flakes) or artificial graphite having a small particle diameter, and the optically isotropic portion is attached. High softening point pitch containing 5 to 98% by volume can be mixed. By doing in this way, the boron compound in pitch can be disperse | distributed more uniformly, and also the graphitization of the carbonaceous material whose high crystal graphite is a raw material is promoted.
    In order to uniformly attach the boron compound to the highly crystalline graphite, for example, the boron compound such as boric acid or boron oxide is dissolved in a solution or liquid organic boron compound dissolved in a solvent exhibiting wettability to the graphite, such as ethanol. The fine particles of graphite can be uniformly dispersed, and then organic substances such as a solvent can be removed by drying under reduced pressure or thermal decomposition, and the boron compound can be uniformly dispersed to obtain fine particles of high crystal graphite attached. The use ratio of the high crystalline graphite and the boron compound at this time is preferably in the proportion of 0.1 to 70% by weight as the boron element in the total weight of both.
    When the mixture of the high crystal graphite and the boron compound thus obtained is mixed at a high softening point pitch of 5 to 98% by volume of the optically isotropic portion, the mixing amount is 0.1 in terms of boron element with respect to the high softening point pitch as in the above case. It is-7 weight%, Preferably it is 1-5 weight%. Mixing of high crystalline graphite and high softening point pitch in which the boron compound is uniformly dispersed and added is added during heat treatment of the raw material pitch, thermal kneading the protons with a kneader or the like, or the protons are mixed with each other using a ball mill or the like. You may also do it.
    As described above, in the present invention, when the boron compound is added to the carbonaceous material of the raw material, the boron compound exhibits the property of easy graphitization including 5 to 98% by volume of an optically isotropic portion having a strong reducing power with respect to the boron compound. It is preferable to disperse | distribute uniformly to a high softening point pitch, and to use this as the raw material of graphitization which made it particulate.
    b. Granulation process of heat treated material
    Next, the heat treatment product obtained as described above is pulverized, and the particle diameter of the obtained fine particles is 200 mesh. As average particle diameter, it is 50 micrometers or less, Preferably it is the range of 5-30 micrometers. It does not specifically limit as a grinder, For example, grinders, such as a jet mill, a ball mill, a stirring mill, and a high speed rotary mill, can be used.
    c. Oxidation treatment
    Next, the fine particles are oxidized to be infusible. This operation is necessary in order that the fine particles do not fuse together during the next carbonization step and the graphitization step. Although this oxidation process may be performed in air at the temperature of 140-300 degreeC, it is preferable to carry out nitrogen gas in an oxidation furnace and to carry out oxygen concentration about 16-18 weight%. In addition, in oxidation, the oxidation furnace is divided into multiple parts so that temperature control can be precisely performed so that the fine particles do not fuse and form aggregates, or the particles are treated in a fluidized bed so that the particles do not come into contact with a heat source, It is preferable to perform in a thin layer. Although some fusion aggregates are produced by the oxidation treatment, the fusion aggregates can be reused by regrinding.
    Regarding the degree of oxidation in this oxidation treatment, it is preferable to set the oxidation conditions so that the oxidation treatment is in a state containing about 2 to 10% by weight of oxygen. If the amount of oxygen is less than the above range, that is, the oxidation is insufficient, fusion of the fine particles occurs in the next carbonization step, etc., which is not preferable. On the other hand, when the oxidation is excessive, the specific surface area of the fine particles becomes large, or the amorphousness of the fine particles. This is not preferable from the point of increasing.
    The fine particles which have been subjected to the above oxidation treatment are unclear, but the acute angle of the fine particles before the oxidation treatment is lost and rounded, and even though the particles are not spherical, they are slightly rounded, and the aspect ratio is in the range of 1 to 2. Becomes
    d. Carbonization process
    Finally, the fine particles are carbonized according to a conventional method. Carbonization is performed at 600-1,200 degreeC. However, for the processing time, an optimal time is selected according to the apparatus. In addition, the atmosphere at the time of carbonization is a reducing gas as an example. In principle, no problem may be used as long as it is an inert atmosphere that does not oxidize carbon. This carbonization process can also be performed continuously, and various conditions and apparatuses conventionally known can be used as it is as various conditions and apparatuses of carbonization.
    d ': prevent fusion of fine particles
    For the prevention of fusion of the fine particles during the graphitization, which is the next step, the fine powder of high crystalline graphite is added and mixed with 0.5% to 30% by weight of the total amount of the mixture with respect to the oxidation treatment or carbide as described above. do. It is preferable to use the fine powder of these high crystalline graphite whose average particle diameter is 0.1-10 micrometers. An average particle diameter smaller than 0.1 mu m is not economical because it requires special pulverization, and an average particle diameter larger than 10 mu m has no effect of preventing fusion. About mixing, it can mix by a conventional method, such as a V type blender and a Henschel mixer.
    e. Graphitization Process
    Graphitization of the microparticles is carried out by heating the microparticles to a graphitization temperature within l00 hours in an inert atmosphere that does not react with boron, and graphitizing at 2,200 占 폚 or higher, and then cooling the graphitizer to 100 占 폚 within 100 hours. Do it. As an inert gas which does not react with boron, it is a rare gas, such as helium and argon, or the gas containing nitrogen of the grade which does not produce boron nitride in these gases. In addition to these gases that do not react with boron, not only the boron compounds reacted with these gases remain in the boron substituted graphite finally obtained, but also the solid solution diffusion in the graphite is inhibited.
    The graphitization temperature is generally known to improve graphitability as it is higher, and 2,200 ° C. or more, which is high in speed of solid solution diffusion into boron, is suitable. The holding time of the graphitization temperature is 0.1 to 48 hours, preferably 1 to 12 hours. If the holding time of this temperature is too short, such as 0 hours, graphitization is not sufficient, and if it exceeds 48 hours, volatilization of added boron and once solid solution-diffused boron occurs, which is not suitable. During this graphitization time, volatilization of the boron compound, change of the boron compound into boron carbide, diffusion of solid solution into the boron graphite, and the like occur.
    Moreover, in order to manufacture the boron substituted graphite which is optimal as a negative electrode material for lithium ion secondary batteries, the cooling rate from graphitization temperature to 100 degreeC is important. When the cooling rate is fast, it is possible to employ a boron to the animation in a more and the re-precipitation with a small amount, B 4 C particle size smaller than that of such a re-precipitation on a graphite surface as B 4 C. If a temperature of up to 100 ℃ beyond cooled to 100 hours, a lot amount of precipitation of B 4 C, the particle diameter is also not preferable because it results in a large, increase in the irreversible capacity as a lithium ion secondary battery negative electrode material.
    Currently, the Acheson furnaces type is mainly used as an industrial graphitization furnace, but this type of furnace is difficult to control the atmosphere and cooling rate, and is not suitable for producing boron substituted graphite having good battery characteristics. Do. In order to satisfy the above conditions, a continuous graphite graphitizer for continuously supplying a graphite crucible containing fine particles and cooling it, or a continuous graphite of a kiln type or shaft furnace type for continuously inserting fine particles The brazier is optimal. However, as long as the conditions of graphitization as described above can be kept, such a furnace type may not be required.
    [Physical Properties of Boron-Substituted Graphite]
    In the boron-substituted graphite of the present invention obtained as described above, the graphite interlayer distance d 2 is 0.337 nm or less, the crystallite size in the c-axis direction (Lc) is 30 nm or more, and the crystallite size in the a-axis direction (La) is It is a high crystalline boron substituted graphite fine particle of 40 nm or more. In addition, in the boron 1s spectrum measured by XPS, a Bls peak attributable to substituted solid boron near 186 eV exists, and the ratio of boron obtained from the intensity ratio of the Bls peak attributable to boron at B 4 C in the vicinity of 188 eV is XPS. It is 5 atomic% or less in the surface layer element detected by.
    Moreover, it is preferable that the ratio of boron couple | bonded with nitrogen of 190 eV vicinity of the boron 1s spectrum measured by XPS is 10 atomic% or less in the surface layer element detected by XPS, and the graphite in the carbon 1s spectrum measured by XPS When the carbon 1s peak of has a binding energy of the gold 4f 7/2 peak at 84.0 eV, it is preferable that the peak is smaller than 284.3 eV and near the 282.5 eV.
    Preferably, the amount of boron as an element in boron substituted graphite is 0.01 to 5% by weight, more preferably 0.5 to 3% by weight of the boron substituted graphite, and the specific surface area of the fine particles is 2.0 m 2 / g or less. Therefore, when used as a negative electrode material for a lithium ion secondary battery, a battery having low reactivity with an electrolyte solution and a relatively low irreversible capacity can be obtained.
    [Measurement of XPS]
    The measurement of XPS is performed as follows. The graphite powder is fixed to the sample holder for XPS analysis without touching it with bare hands. For example, the fixing method may be filled in the recess of the holder, or may be lightly pressed against a soft metal such as indium. Next, the holder is introduced into the analysis chamber and the measurement is performed. The surface of the sample (washing with an organic solvent or the like, ion ionization, etc.) should not be performed before the measurement. The measurement is performed in accordance with the usual XPS measurement procedure (see, for example, 'X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy' (Maruzen, 1998) and the like). There is no restriction | limiting in particular in X-ray source. The binding energy is calibrated using a standard sample. In the present invention, gold is used as the standard sample, and the binding energy of the gold 4f 7/2 peak is set to 84.0 eV. The combined energy error in one device is within +0.05 eV. The criterion of binding energy varies slightly depending on the device mechanism, but is considered to be a non-uniform range of about +0.5 eV. Therefore, it is easy to distinguish three states of boron, namely boron solid solution, boron carbide and boron nitride, by the boron 1s spectrum.
    On the other hand, calculation of the elemental composition of the surface layer first calculates the integrated intensity of the peak represented by the boron 1s spectrum. The peak may be asymmetrical, in which case the asymmetry is also taken into consideration. The method of calculating the integral strength of the peaks of boron includes a method of defining peaks of solid solution of boron, boron carbide, and boron nitride by Gaussian function, Lorentz function, etc., and fitting the measured spectrum to the peaks so defined. In general, but not limited to. From the integrated intensity of the peaks, the relative sensitivity factor accompanying the device is used to calculate the composition of the surface layer. In the present invention, the following relative sensitivity factors were calculated using carbon 1s: 1.00, boron 1s: 0.486, nitrogen 1s: 1.80, and oxygen 1s: 2.93. When no special elements other than those described above are added to the graphite, it is sufficient to quantitatively calculate these four elements. In the case where some of the graphite particles are coated with other elements or compounds, the thickness of the coated layer should be considered.
    2. Manufacturing method of silicon-containing carbonaceous material
