Abstract: Disclosed is a carbonaceous material comprising a graphite particle having a 002 plane interval d002 of less than 0.337 nm as measured by the X-ray wide angle diffraction method; a complex particle disposed and distributed in the vicinity of the surface of the graphite particle, the complex particle comprising silicon and carbon and having a particle size smaller than that of the graphite particle; and an amorphous carbon layer with a plane interval d002 of more than 0.37 nm, the amorphous carbon layer being a polymer layer and being coated on the graphite particle and the complex particle, wherein the complex particle comprises a Si particulate, a conductive carbon material disposed and distributed in the vicinity of the surface of the Si particulate, and a rigid carbon material layer coated on the Si particulate and the conductive carbon material, the Si particulate being composed of a crystalline Si phase.

Abstract: A negative electrode for a lithium rechargeable battery includes a carbon material in which lithium intercalation occurs, and at least one metallic oxide selected from yttrium oxide, cerium oxide, and titanium oxide.

Abstract: Disclosed is a negative active material for a rechargeable lithium battery that includes graphite particles, silicon micro-particles attached on the graphite particles and a carbon film partially or totally coated on the graphite particles.
