Abstract
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a negative active material for a rechargeable lithium battery includes silicon oxide particles represented by SiOx (where 0<x<2) in which an atom % of a silicon phase decreases in a concentration gradient according to a depth from the surface of each particle to the center of the particle, and has an atom % of an O phase that increases in a concentration gradient. In the atom % concentration graph of the silicon (Si) phase according to the depth, the integral value of the atom % concentration of the silicon (Si) phase from the surface (where the depth is 0) to a depth where the concentration of the silicon (Si) phase is 55 atom % is about 5000 to about 40000 nm·atom %.
