ABSTRACT:
A mesophase pitch-based carbon fiber for use as a material for a negative electrode of a secondary battery, and a process for producing the same. The mesophase pitch-based carbon fiber comprises a columnar core part having a texture composed of a plurality of graphite layers extending along an axial direction and extending with minute flexures in a plane perpendicular to the axis and an outer-shell part surrounding the core part. The outer-shell part has a texture composed of a laminate of a plurality of graphite layers extending along an axial direction. The graphite layers are oriented in a plane perpendicular to the axis in a fashion such that the graphite layers extend along a circumferential direction with minute flexures while gradually receding from a center of the core part. In the carbon fiber, the graphite layers composing the outer-shell part have a laminate face forming a surface of the outer-shell part, channels permitting entry and exit of lithium ions being formed between graphite layers at the laminate face.
