The invention relates to a composite particle for electrodes containing an active material particle, carbon nanofibers bonded to the surface of the active material particle, and a catalyst element for accelerating growth of the carbon nanofibers wherein the active material particle is composed of an electrochemically active phase. For example, Au, Ag, Pt, Ru, Ir, Cu, Fe, Co, Ni, Mo or Mn is used as the catalyst element. Such a composite particle for electrodes can be produced by a method which comprises a step for preparing an active material particle which contains a catalyst element for accelerating growth of carbon nanofibers in at least a surface portion, and a step for growing carbon nanofibers on the surface of the active material particle in an atmosphere containing a raw material gas.

An SiO powder for secondary battery that is used as a negative electrode material of lithium secondary battery and characterized in that the concentration of contained hydrogen is = 80 ppm. The powder would enable striking enhancement of discharge capacity and rate of cycle capacity maintenance and thus would enable realization of a size reduction of lithium secondary battery and cost reduction thereof. There is provided a process for producing such an SiO powder, comprising mixing silicon dioxide powder with a silicon powder of = 30 ppm contained hydrogen concentration, heating the mixture at 1250 DEG to 1350 DEG C so as to achieve gasification of SiO, depositing the SiO on a deposition base, and thereafter carrying out pulverization thereof. Thus, the SiO powder can be produced with high efficiency and can realize substantial reduction of production costs, such as power cost, so that it can find a wide spectrum of application as an SiO powder for secondary battery.

Disclosed is a thermoplastic resin composition comprising a combination of 5 to 89.95 mass% of an aromatic polycarbonate resin (A), 5 to 60 mass% of an aliphatic polyester (B), 5 to 30 mass% of talc (C), 0.05 to 3 mass% of a silicone having a functional group (D), and 0 to 2 mass% of polytetrafluoroethylene (E), wherein the total amount of the components (A) to (E) is taken as 100 mass%, and wherein the ratio of the mass of the component (D) to the mass of the component (B) (i.e., a (D) / (B) ratio) is 0.003 to 0.6.
