  • Patent number: 10283767
    Abstract: A method is described for producing silicon particles, in particular for an anode material of a lithium cell. In order to improve the cycle stability of lithium cells and to minimize losses in capacitance, in particular, microorganisms are dispersed in at least one solvent in a method step a), the solvent including at least one silicon compound. In a method step b), the at least one solvent is then removed, and a residue remains. In method step c), the residue is then heated under a reducing atmosphere. In addition, the invention relates to corresponding silicon particles, and to a corresponding anode material including silicon particles, and to a lithium cell provided with such.

  • Patent number: 9381670
    Abstract: A ceramic composition for an injection-molding process for producing a combustion chamber pressure sensor, in particular for producing an insulation punch of a combustion chamber pressure sensor, includes a ceramic component in a proportion of greater than or equal to 50% by weight and a glass component in a proportion of less than or equal to 50% by weight. The ceramic component includes aluminum oxide. The glass component includes silicon dioxide or a silicon dioxide precursor. The ceramic composition further includes an alkaline earth metal oxide or an alkaline earth metal oxide precursor. The ceramic composition allows production of an insulation punch having a particularly good insulation capability. A ceramic injection-molding process includes the ceramic composition.

  • Publication number: 20150111104
    Abstract: A method is described for manufacturing a lithium-sulfur cell or lithium-sulfur battery, in particular a solid-state lithium-sulfur cell or lithium-sulfur battery. A nanowire network is provided in a method step a) composed of an electron- and lithium ion-conducting ceramic mixed conductor or a mixed conductor precursor for forming an electron- and lithium ion-conducting ceramic mixed conductor. The nanowire network is coated with a lithium ion-conducting solid-state electrolyte layer in a method step b). The nanowire network is optionally infiltrated with sulfur in a method step c). A cathode current arrester is applied to the uncoated side of the nanowire network in a method step d). Moreover, a lithium-sulfur cell, a lithium-sulfur battery, and a mobile or stationary system are described as well.
