GLOBULAR CARBON-BASED ANODE ACTIVE MATERIAL, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME, AND ANODE AND LITHIUM SECONDARY BATTERY COMPRISING SAME

A method for preparing a spheronized carbonaceous negative electrode active material, including the steps of: mixing scaly graphite, solid pitch and liquid pitch to form a mixture, and spheronizing the mixture to prepare spheronized granulated particles; firing the spheronized granulated particles; carrying out carbon coating of the fired spheronized granulated particles to form carbon-coated spheronized granulated particles; heat treating the carbon-coated spheronized granulated particles; and disintegrating the heat treated carbon-coated spheronized granulated particles.
