  • Electrode compositions with high coulombic efficiencies
    Patent number: 6436578
    Abstract: An electrode composition that includes (a) an electrochemically active metal element which, prior to cycling, is in the form of an intermetallic compound or an elemental metal and (b) a non-electrochemically active metal element. The electrode compositions have high initial capacities that are retained even after repeated cycling. The electrode compositions also exhibit high coulombic efficiencies.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 15, 2000
    Date of Patent: August 20, 2002
    Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties Company
    Inventors: Robert L. Turner, Donald J. McClure, Larry J. Krause, Mary M. Buckett, Jeffery R. Dahn, Ou Mao
