ELECTRODE MATERIAL FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERY AND Si ALLOY COMPOSITE POWDER

The present invention relates to an electrode material for lithium ion battery, containing: a graphite powder; and a Si alloy composite powder, in which the Si alloy composite powder has an average particle diameter of 5 μm or less and contains Si particles, Si—X compound particles (X=Fe, Ni, Cr, Co, Mn, Zr, or Ti), and at least one of Sn—Y compound particles and Al—Y compound particles (Y=Cu, Fe, Ni, Cr, Co, Mn, Zr, or Ti), a proportion of the Si particles in the Si alloy composite powder is 30 mass % to 95 mass %, and a coverage of the Si alloy composite powder on a surface of graphite particles is 5% or more.
