Abstract
Abstract A nonaqueous secondary battery comprising a cathode, an anode and a nonaqueous electrolyte disposed and sealed between the cathode and the anode wherein the anode is made of a carbon material as its active material, in which the carbon material comprises a fine core particle of a metal or an alloy thereof, and a carbon layer which is arranged and stacked in an onion-like shell configuration centering on the fine core particle, at least part of the carbon layer having a crystal structure in which graphite-like layers are stacked and the fine core particle having an average diameter of about 10 to 150 nm.
