This study was investigated to improve peformance of carbon negative electrode for lithium ion secondary battery. The carbon electrode was prepared by mixing with graphitic carbon material, natural graphite, and nongraphitic carbon material, petroleum cokes, which was heat-treated at $700^{\circ}C$ for l hour. Its electrochemical and charge-discharge characteristics were tested according to mixing ratio of different two types of carbon material. The carbon electrode prepared with various mixing ratio showed both charateristcs of two different types of carbon materials and the best characteristics as carbon electrode was demonstrated at mixing ratio of 1:1.

Material and electrochemical characteristics of petroleum coke of the nongraphitic carbon prepated with attrition milling for 6~48 hours and heat-treatment at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour was investigated. The milling condition affects the particle size distribution, BET specific surface area and interlayer distance of petroleum cokes. Carbon electrode with petroleum cokes prepared at the milling time of 12~24 hours and having average particle size of $6{\sim}8{\mu}m$ showed best electrochemical characteristics form the investigation of cyclic voltammogram and charge-discharge characteristics.
