A material for a negative electrode of a cell, which is prepared according to a process of the present invention, can provides a cell having a high true specific gravity, a high charging capacity and an excellent cycle characteristic. The process of the present invention comprises the steps of carbonizing an organic compound to form a carbide thereof, pulverizing said carbide to form a powder having an average particle size of 10 .mu. to 2 mm, and sintering said powder of the carbide at a temperature of 2, 000 C or higher to produce a graphite. In addition, in accordance with the present invention, there is also provided non-aqueous electrolyte secondary cell comprising a negative electrode, which is prepared by carbonizing an organic compound to form a carbide thereof, pulverizing the carbide to form a powder having an average particle size of 10 .mu.m to 2 mm, and sintering the powder of the carbide at a temperature of 2, 000.degree. C to form a graphite. |
