Metal graphite material including a molded body having a collectivity of
graphite particles and copper particles comprises graphite and copper as
main elements, the copper particles including copper microparticles where
each copper microparticle having average diameter between 5 and 100 nm
contacts, and a cluster of the copper microparticles fixed on a surface
of the graphite particle to form a conductive path of the contacting
copper microparticles on the surface of the graphite particle, wherein a
charge induced from the graphite particle is conducted, and a method for
making metal graphite material comprises the steps of: applying a
solution including metal complex whose main element is copper on a
surface of a graphite particle and forming a coating film of the solution
on the surface of the graphite particle, and calcinating a molded body of
a collectivity of the graphite particles on which the coating films are
formed under an oxygen including atmosphere, and heating the molded body
under a deoxidizing atmosphere.
