Nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery and its anode
Using a graphite material capable of intercalating and de-intercalating lithium ions as the anode, the peak intensity ratio R(=I(110)/I(004)) corresponding to lattice planes (110) and (004) of graphite material obtained by wide angle X-ray diffraction measurement of this anode is in a range of 0.05 to 0.5. Hence, edges of graphite crystals exist adequately on the electrode surface at the interface to the electrolyte, and therefore intercalation of lithium proceeds smoothly, polarization at the time of charging and discharging is suppressed, and a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery excellent in high rate discharging characteristic is obtained. The obtained battery is small in deterioration if charging and discharging are repeated.
