Abstract:
A low-resistivity carbon nanotube aggregate includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes each having one or more walls, wherein a ratio of a total number of carbon nanotubes that have two or three walls relative to a total number of said plurality of carbon nanotubes is 75% or greater, and wherein, in a G band of a Raman spectrum in the Raman spectroscopy of the plurality of carbon nanotubes, a G+/Gtotal ratio that is indicative of an amount of semiconductor carbon nanotubes relative to metallic carbon nanotubes is 0.70 or greater.

Abstract:
Porous silicon particles and complex porous silicon particles suitable for negative electrode materials etc. for lithium-ion batteries, which achieve high capacity and good cycling characteristics, are provided. Porous silicon particles formed by the joining of a plurality of silicon microparticles, and having an average particle diameter of 0.1 μm to 1000 μm, a three-dimensional network structure having continuous gaps, an average porosity of 15 to 93%, and a structure in which the particles of a whole particle are uniform. Complex porous silicon particles formed by the joining of a plurality of silicon microparticles and a plurality of silicon compound particles, and characterized by containing a compound of silicon and composite elements, having an average particle diameter of 0.1 μm to 1000 μm, and having a three-dimensional network structure having continuous gaps.
