  • Patent number: 8986888
    Abstract: A material for a battery or an accumulator, especially for a negative electrode of an accumulator, for example, a lithium ion secondary battery, the use of such a material, an electrode that includes such a material, a battery having such an electrode, and a process for producing such a material. The material includes carbon, an alloy and/or a mixture of silicon with at least one element of main group 1 of the Periodic Table of the Elements excluding lithium, and optionally at least one further metallic element and production-related impurities, the elements being distributed within a silicon phase in the case of a mixture, and a binder which binds carbon and the alloy and/or the mixture to give a solid material.
