  • Patent number: 11152621
    Abstract: Since a surface of the artificial graphite of the negative electrode active material according to the present invention is modified with nitrogen, dispersibility in an aqueous system may be improved and accordingly, affinity between a binder and the negative electrode active material is increased to increase the adhesive strength of an electrode. Also, since the surface of the artificial graphite is modified with nitrogen, there is an effect of maintaining a high battery capacity. Furthermore, in the method of preparing a negative electrode active material according to the present invention, since an oxygen-containing functional group is connected to the artificial graphite by a mild oxidation process, the nitrogen may be easily attached to the artificial graphite so that the negative electrode active material becomes an electrical conductor by maintaining original crystallinity while having a hydrophilic property. Thus, excellent battery efficiency may be achieved.

  • Patent number: 10476109
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a negative electrode active material and a method of preparing the same, the negative electrode active material which includes a core including artificial graphite and hard carbon, and a shell surrounding the core and including natural graphite, wherein the shell is shell is formed to cover a surface of the core by stacking and heading the natural graphite. Since the natural graphite completely surrounds the artificial graphite and the hard carbon, the hard carbon having a low initial efficiency and high electrolyte solution consumption is not exposed to the outside, and thus, high initial efficiency and life characteristics may be obtained. Also, since the natural graphite, the artificial graphite, and the hard carbon are all used, diffusion resistance of lithium ions is lower than that of a case where the natural graphite is only used, and thus, high output characteristics may be achieved.
