NOVELTY - An anode material contains electroconductive material (M), and primary particles (I) (10,11), primary particles (II) (20,21), or primary particles (III) (30-33). Material (M) is attached to surface of primary particles or secondary particles which consist of the primary particles. Primary particles (I, II) contain metallic compound (2) containing specific elements, arranged on surface of lithium nickel oxide particles (1). The primary particles (III) contain metallic compound arranged on the surface of primary particles (II).    USE - For nonaqueous electrolyte lithium ion battery (claimed) used as motor drive or power supply for mobile telephone, electric vehicle, hybrid electric vehicle and fuel cell vehicle.    ADVANTAGE - The anode material suppresses raise of internal resistance and decomposition of electrolyte liquid during charging and discharging in high temperature.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An anode material contains electroconductive material, and primary particles (I) (10,11), primary particles (II) (20,21), or primary particles (III) (30-33). The electroconductive material is attached to surface of primary particles or secondary particles which consist of the primary particles. The primary particles (I) contain metallic compound (2) containing nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, polonium, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and/or astatine, arranged on surface of lithium nickel oxide particles (1). The primary particles (II) contains substitutional atom(s) chosen from nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, polonium, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and/or astatine, which are substituted on surface of lithium nickel oxide particles in predetermined portion. The primary particles (III) contain metallic compound arranged on the surface of primary particles (II). An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for manufacture of anode material, which involves producing liquid mixture of metallic compound containing nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, polonium, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and/or astatine, lithium hydroxide hydrate, and nickel compound, dehydrating the liquid mixture by heating, thermally decomposing the resulting product, and baking the decomposed product.
