Abstract: Proposed is a high-capacity anode active material including a primary silicon composite formed such that silicon nanoparticles are dispersed on a first amorphous carbon matrix and a secondary silicon composite formed such that the primary silicon composite is assembled by a network of conductive fibers on a second amorphous carbon matrix. With this structure, contact between the silicon nanoparticles and an electrolyte is prevented so that the anode active material has high capacity and conductivity. A lithium secondary battery including the anode active material is also proposed.
