Method for producing silicon-based active material particles and silicon-based active material precursor particles

Abstract

A method for producing a silicon-based active material precursor particle includes a laminated coating forming step for forming a laminated coating of a silicon-based active material on a substrate by repeating a vapor deposition step for depositing a silicon-based active material forming material on the substrate to form the silicon-based active material forming material having a multilayer structure. Following the laminated coating step, the method includes a scraping step for scraping off the laminated coating of the silicon-based active material from the substrate after repeating the vapor deposition step to obtain the silicon-based active material precursor particle having the multilayer structure as a part thereof. The substrate can be a rotating body having a horizontal axis for repeating the vapor deposition step or be one that is relatively movable with respect to the supply path of the silicon-based active material for repeating the vapor deposition step.
