no. 1 approach

[0020] According to the first embodiment, there is provided an active material including monoclinic niobium-titanium composite oxide particles and a carbon material layer. The monoclinic niobium-titanium composite oxide particles can absorb and release Li ions or Na ions and satisfy the following formula (1). The carbon material layer covers at least a part of the surface of the niobium-titanium composite oxide particle and satisfies the following formula (2):

[0021] 0.5≤(α / β)≤2 (1)

[0022] 0≤(γ / σ)≤0.1 (2)

[0023] where α represents the number of moles of Nb in the niobium-titanium composite oxide particles, β represents the number of moles of Ti in the niobium-titanium composite oxide particles, γ represents the number of hydrogen atoms in the carbon material layer, and σ represents the number of carbon atoms in the carbon material layer number.

[0024] The higher ratio (α / β) of the moles of Nb to the moles of Ti in the monoclinic niobium-titanium composite oxide part...
