  • Patent number: 10096834
    Abstract: A method is provided for manufacturing a polyacrylonitrile-sulfur composite material, the polyacrylonitrile-sulfur composite material having an sp2 hybrid proportion, with respect to the total carbon atoms included in the composite material, of greater than or equal to 85% including the method steps: a) reaction of polyacrylonitrile with sulfur at a temperature of greater than or equal to 450° C., in particular greater than or equal to 550° C.; b) immediate purification of the product obtained in method step a); and c) drying the purified product, if necessary. A composite material manufactured in this way may be used in particular in an active material of a cathode of a lithium-ion battery and offers a particularly high rate capacity. In addition, methods are provided for manufacturing an active material for an electrode, a polyacrylonitrile-sulfur composite material and an energy store.

  • Publication number: 20180138497
    Abstract: An active material for an electrochemical energy store, in particular for a lithium cell. To increase the service life of the electrochemical energy store, the active material is based on the general chemical formula: x(LiMO2):1-x(Li2-yNayMn1-zM?zO3), where M stands for nickel and/or cobalt and/or manganese and M? stands for niobium and/or tungsten and/or molybdenum, and 0<x<1, 0<y<0.5, and 0<z<1. Moreover, an electrode material and an electrode that contains this active material, a process for manufacturing same, and an electrochemical energy store equipped with same, are described.
