Problems solved by technology

This change in volume can lead to damage to the mechanical and electrical contact between the active elements of the material making up the anode—that is, the particles of a conductive diluent such as carbon—and the binder.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing a material including at least one member of the Group 14 by thermal degradation of a ternary phase, also known as the Zintl phase, or by reaction therewith with an oxidising solvent. The invention also relates to the material containing at least one element of Group 14 that can be obtained by this method, and to the use thereof mainly in the field ofelectrochemistry, particularly for batteries. The material is more particularly suited for the field of batteries of the alkaline metal and / or alkaline-earth ions type, in particular of the lithium-ion type.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of materials comprising at least one group 14 element by thermal decomposition of a ternary phase (also called Zintl phase) or by reaction of said ternary phase with an oxygenated solvent. [0002] The invention also relates to a material comprising at least one element of group 14 obtainable by this method and to its use mainly in the field of electrochemistry, especially in the field of batteries. Said materials are more particularly suitable for the field of batteries of the alkali metal type and / or alkaline earth ion type, especially lithium ion type. [0003] The invention also relates to an anode based on the material thus defined. [0004] The method of the invention allows obtaining a material with an optimized capacity per unit mass, capable of storing and releasing alkali metals and / or alkaline earth metals in a reversible manner. This makes such materials particularly suitable fo...
