A carbon material for use in a lithium secondary battery, which is obtained by graphitization conducted in the presence of a boric compound so as to contain boron in an amount ranging from 1,000 ppm to 30,000 ppm and which, when subjected to X-ray diffractometry, exhibits an interplanar spacing of 002 surface (d002) of not greater than 0.338 nm, a crystallite size along c-axis (Lc) of at least 35 nm, a crystallite size along a-axis (La) of at least 50 nm and a ratio of diffraction peak (101) to diffraction peak (100), designated as P101/P100, of at least 1.0; a negative electrode and a lithium secondary battery each produced by using the above carbon material; and a process for producing the carbon material. This carbon material exhibits large charge and discharge capacities, so that it can provide a negative electrode for use in a lithium secondary battery which is excellent in charge and discharge cycle characteristics.
