Abstract: A high-performance new silicon composite material for a negative electrode of a lithium ion battery and a preparation method thereof by utilizes a conductive polymer PEDOT and a water solution dispersant PSS as a coating layer of nano-Si powder and a carbon source. The Si/C composite material taking a Si-containing type lithium storage material as a main active substance is prepared by firstly polymerizing PEDOT: PSS on the surface of Si through in-situ polymerization reaction and then performing high-temperature carbonization treatment on a prepared Si/PEDOT: PSS composite under an inert atmosphere. The prepared composite material is doped with a small amount of S element. Nano-Si particles are uniformly embedded in a PEDOT: PSS polymer and a carbon matrix. A high yield is achieved by using cheap raw materials and a simple and environment-friendly process. The prepared Si/C composite material has very low initial irreversible capacity loss (2.8%) and excellent charge-discharge.

Abstract: The present invention describes a road terrain detection system that comprises a method for classifying selected locations in the environment of a vehicle based on sensory input signals such as pixel values of a camera image. The method comprises a high level spatial feature generation for selected locations in the environment called base points. The spatial feature generation of the base points is based on a value-continuous confidence representation that captures visual and physical properties of the environment, generated by so called base classifiers operating on raw sensory data. Consequently, the road terrain detection incorporates both local properties of sensor data and their spatial relationship in a two-step feature extraction process.
