  • Publication number: 20170338470
    Abstract: Although a material containing silicon attracts attention as a high-capacity negative electrode active material, it has a problem of having a large irreversible capacity at the initial charge and discharge cycle. As a negative electrode active material, a particle which is a mixture of silicon, lithium metasilicate, and lithium oxide is used. Because lithium metasilicate and lithium oxide are already contained in the particle of the negative electrode active material, a compound containing lithium and oxygen (lithium orthosilicate and lithium metasilicate), which is a cause of the irreversible capacity at the initial charge, is not generated any more. This enables a negative electrode active material with a small irreversible capacity.
