Abstract
A thermochemical process based on the partial reduction of mixed oxides is used to create ultrafine metal-ceramic composites for Li-ion battery electrodes. Mixed oxides containing a more noble metal selected to be capable of alloying with lithium at potentials useful as a Li-ion battery anode are partially reduced to form electrochemically active metal-ceramic composites. Experiments show the differences in microstructure obtained in systems with slow oxygen diffusion and fast oxygen diffusion distorted fluorite), and microphase separation rutile). Materials are characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning transmission electron microscopy, and electrochemical tests are presented. Reversible charge capacities of 200-350 mAh/g (1100-2200 mAh/cm3) have been obtained in experiments to date. © 2002 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.
