Title:
SILICON-ALLOY NEGATIVE-ELECTRODE MATERIAL EXHIBITING HIGH ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/008540
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a silicon-alloy negative-electrode material that exhibits high electrical conductivity and both high discharge capacity and a long cycle life. Said negative-electrode material is a powder comprising a composite phase consisting of: a silicon base phase, which is either a silicon phase or a partially-substituted silicon phase in which some silicon has been substituted by one or more elements selected from the group comprising carbon, germanium, tin, lead, aluminum, and phosphorus; and a SixCuy phase comprising an alloy that has the composition SixCuy (x being less than y), i.e. an intermetallic compound of silicon and copper. The silicon base phase comprises particles with a mean diameter of 10 µm or less, and the SixCuy phase encloses at least part of the silicon base phase.
