Abstract

A graphite powder, preferably including scale-like particles, which satisfies the following formulae (1) and (2), wherein e(0.5) represents the initial charge-discharge efficiency of a coin cell fabricated from an electrode (work electrode) produced by compressing an electrode material employing graphite powder as an active material under a pressure of 0.5 t/cm2, a lithium metal counter electrode, a separator and an electrolytic solution; and e(3) represents the initial charge-discharge efficiency of a coin cell fabricated from an electrode (work electrode) produced by compressing an electrode material employing graphite powder as an active material under a pressure of 3 t/cm2, a lithium metal counter electrode, a separator and an electrolytic solution: e(3)(%)−e(0.5)(%)≥1,  formula (1):e(3)(%)>85.  formula (2): Also disclosed is a method of producing the graphite powder; a graphite material for a battery electrode; an electrode for a lithium ion; and a lithium-ion secondary battery.
