Highly crystallized particles and production method thereof.

摘要

According to one embodiment, there is provided a method for producing highly crystallized particles having a specific surface area of 5 m2/g or more. The raw material composition contains a resin and at least partially amorphous precursor particles. The composition is heat-treated to carbonize the resin and improve the crystallinity of the precursor particles. A mixture of highly crystallized particles and carbon is prepared. Then, a solution containing an acid is contacted with the mixture to react the acid with the carbon. The carbon is removed and a slurry containing reaction product is prepared. The highly crystallized particles include a first portion having a smaller diameter and a second portion having a larger diameter.
