The first aspect of the invention provides a method of manufacturing an active material capable of selectively synthesizingβ-LiVOPO4. The method of manufacturing an active material in accordance with the first aspect comprises a hydrothermal synthesis step of heating a mixture containing a lithium source, a phosphate source, a vanadium source, and water and having a pH of 7 or less; and a firing step of firing the mixture after being heated under pressure in the hydrothermal synthesis step. The second aspect of the invention provides an active material capable of attaining a sufficient discharge capacity at a high discharge current density, an electrode containing the same, and a lithium-ion secondary battery containing the electrode. The active material in accordance with the second aspect contains an active material particle mainly composed of LiVOPO4 having aβ-type crystal structure and a plurality of hemispherical carbon particles, supported on a surface of the active material particle, having a height of 5 to 20 nm, and has an average primary particle size of 50 to 1000 nm.
