Abstract: The present invention relates to a carbonaceous material having a pore volume determined by performing Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulation on an adsorption-desorption isotherm of carbon dioxide of 0.05 cm3/g or more and 0.20 cm3/g or less, and a ratio of desorption amount to adsorption amount (desorption amount/adsorption amount) at a relative pressure of 0.01 in the adsorption-desorption isotherm of 1.05 or more.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a carbonaceous material which is obtainable from plant-derived char and has a decreased specific surface area. Further, the object of the present invention is to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery having excellent dedoping capacity, non-dedoping capacity, and charge-discharge efficiency. The object can be solved by a carbonaceous material for non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries characterized in that the carbonaceous material is obtained by heat-treating plant-derived char which is demineralized in gas-phase, and carbon precursor or volatile organic compound under a non-oxidizing gas atmosphere; and a specific surface area determined by a BET method is 10 m2/g or less.

Abstract: Provided is a manufacturing method of carbonaceous material for a negative electrode of non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries, wherein the carbonaceous material is obtained from plant-derived char as a source, potassium is sufficiently removed, and an average particle diameter thereof is small; and a carbonaceous material for a negative electrode of non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries. The method for manufacturing a carbonaceous material having an average particle diameter of 3 to 30 ?m, for a negative electrode of non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries includes the steps of: (1) heating plant-derived char having an average particle diameter of 100 to 10000 ?m at 500° C. to 1250° C. under an inert gas atmosphere containing halogen compound to demineralize in a gas-phase, (2) pulverizing a carbon precursor obtained by demineralization in a gas-phase, (3) calcining the pulverized carbon precursor at 1000° C. to 1600° C. under an non-oxidizing gas atmosphere.
