  • Patent number: 11335895
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a micro-capsule type silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material, and the negative electrode material comprises a current collector and a silicon-carbon coating layer formed by drying silicon-carbon paste coating the current collector; the silicon-carbon slurry comprises a carbonaceous paste and silicon capsule powder dispersed in the carbonaceous paste; the carbonaceous paste comprises a dispersing agent, and a carbon material, a first conductive agent and a first binder dispersed in the dispersing agent; the silicon capsule powder has micro-capsule structures comprising silicon powder and a second binder coating the surface of the silicon powder and in which the silicon powder is a core and the second binder is an outer shell; and the first binder is different from the second binder. The improved silicon-carbon composite negative electrode material of the present disclosure has excellent effects in cycle performance, coulombic efficiency and rate capability.

  • Publication number: 20170294677
    Abstract: A fluorine-substituted propylene carbonate-based electrolytic solution and a lithium-ion battery, particularly to a fluorine-substituted propylene carbonate-based electrolytic solution having fluorine-substituted propylene carbonate as a primary solvent and a co-solvent is disclosed. The fluorine-substituted propylene carbonate has 50-80 vol. %, and the co-solvent has 20-50 vol. %, based on the volume of the electrolytic solution for a lithium-ion battery.

  • Patent number: 9722252
    Abstract: A family of carboxylic acid groups containing fluorene/fluorenon copolymers is disclosed as binders of silicon particles in the fabrication of negative electrodes for use with lithium ion batteries. Triethyleneoxide side chains provide improved adhesion to materials such as, graphite, silicon, silicon alloy, tin, tin alloy. These binders enable the use of silicon as an electrode material as they significantly improve the cycle-ability of silicon by preventing electrode degradation over time. In particular, these polymers, which become conductive on first charge, bind to the silicon particles of the electrode, are flexible so as to better accommodate the expansion and contraction of the electrode during charge/discharge, and being conductive promote the flow battery current.

  • Patent number: 8703009
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a lithium ion battery and process for creating such, comprising higher binder to carbon conductor ratios than presently used in the industry. The battery is characterized by much lower interfacial resistances at the anode and cathode as a result of initially mixing a carbon conductor with a binder, then with the active material. Further improvements in cycleability can also be realized by first mixing the carbon conductor with the active material first and then adding the binder.
