A non-scaly carbon material, the ratio I110/I004 of the peak intensity I110 of the (110) plane and the peak intensity I004 of the (004) plane obtained by powder XRD measurement is 0.10 or more and 0.35 or less, and the average circularity A carbon material with a d002 of 0.80 or more and 0.95 or less and a d002 of 0.337 nm or less, the total pore volume of pores with a diameter of 0.4 μm or less measured by the nitrogen gas adsorption method is 25.0 μL/g or more and 40.0 μL/g or less, and has a unique optical structure . This carbon material is a carbon material for a battery electrode that can maintain a high cycle characteristic, has a high capacity, a high energy density, and a high coulombic efficiency, and can obtain a low-resistance battery electrode that can be charged and discharged at a high speed. |
