Abstract: The present invention is directed to coating material for coating primary particles, said coating material comprising a petroleum-derived pitch product, characterized in that said pitch product has a melt viscosity index log10 (visc)*100/SPM between 1.2 and 3.0 at 220° C. and between 1.0 and 2.5 at 240° C., wherein visc=melt viscosity (mPa·s) and SPM=Mettler softening point ° C. The present invention is directed as well to the use of said coating material to coat the primary particles of electrode materials in the manufacturing of battery electrodes, more specifically Li-Ion batteries. Further, the present invention is directed to a battery electrode comprising a coating made of said coating material, as well as directed to a battery comprising an electrode having a coating made of said coating material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing carbon-bonded refractory products from refractory granulations and organic binder agents, wherein a powdery, graphitable coal-tar pitch with a benzo[a]pyrene content less than 500 mg/kg and a coking value of at least about 80% by weight according to DIN 51905 and a graphitable binder agent liquid at room temperature, with a coking value of at least about 15% by weight and a benzo[a]pyrene content less than 500 ppm according to DIN 51905, are used as organic binder agent, mixed with the remaining constituents, transferred to a mould body, then heat treated at a temperature of 150 to about 400° C.
