Problems solved by technology

Because the specific surface area of ​​the active material containing a large number of nanoparticles is very large, the formation of the SEI consumes a correspondingly large amount of electrolyte and lithium
As a result, the positive electrode again has to be oversized in principle, which leads to a considerable decrease in the energy density of the corresponding lithium-ion battery and at least partially cancels out the advantage of the high energy density of the negative electrode

Embodiment Construction

[0042] (1) To manufacture a preferred embodiment of the active material of the present invention, cyclopentasilane is polymerized under an argon atmosphere (water content and oxygen content < 1 ppm) using photoinduction by means of UV light at a wavelength of 405 nm. Polymerization is continued until the obtained polysilane mixture has a gel-like consistency. The latter was mixed with graphite particles having an average particle size of 15 μm to obtain a paste, which was then heat-treated at a temperature of 823K. This heat treatment was continued until no further hydrogen evolution was observed. The material thus obtained was subsequently ground in a ball mill and adjusted to an average particle size of about 20 μm.

[0043] (2) In order to manufacture the preferred embodiment of the electrode of the present invention, 8% (by weight) of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Walocell ? CRT2000PPA12) is introduced into water and fully expanded. In addition, 87% of the active mat...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing active material for the electrode of an electrochemical element, comprising the steps of (1) providing carbon particles, (2) applying a silicon precursor onto the surface of the carbon particle and (3) thermally breaking down the silicon precursor to form metal silicon. The invention furthermore relates to an electrochemical active material that can be produced according to a said method, to an electrode having said active material, and to an electrochemical element having at least one said electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an active material for an electrode of an electrochemical element, a method for producing the active material, an electrode comprising such an active material and an electrochemical element comprising at least one such electrode. Background technique [0002] Rechargeable lithium batteries in which metallic lithium is used as negative electrode material are known to have a very high energy density. However, it is also known that a series of problems can arise during cycling (charging and discharging) of such batteries. For example, the unavoidable side reactions of metallic lithium with the electrolyte solution lead to the coverage of the lithium surface with decomposition products that may affect the lithium deposition and dissolution process. In extreme cases, dendrites may also form, which in some cases may damage the electrode separator. The structure and composition of the surface layer (which is often also referred to a...
