Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a negative electrode material capable of imparting a large charge and discharge capacity to a battery by including the baked body of a material containing at least either one of chitin and xanthone. SOLUTION: A baked body used for a negative electrode material is obtained by baking a material including chitin or xanthone such as shell of crab or shrimp in non-oxidizing atmosphere to carbonize it. The non-oxidizing atmosphere consists of an atmosphere of inert gas such as nitrogen, helium or the like, or vacuum atmosphere. The baking temperature is set to 700-1500 deg.C, and the baking time is set to 5 hours or less. To form a negative electrode, the powder of this baked body is mixed with a binder and a dispersant to prepare a negative electrode mix, which is then molded into a desired electrode form by compression molding. The thus-formed negative electrode is doped with the ion of a light metal such as lithium. From the viewpoint of battery output or energy density, particularly, doping of lithium ion is preferred.
