Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to an electrode coating for a lithium-ion battery, containing copolymer C or the salt thereof, copolymer C being synthesized by polymerizing a combined total of more than 70 wt % of vinyl-functional cyclic carbonate and one or more monomers from the group comprising acrylic acid and the derivatives thereof, the percentage by weight of vinyl-functional cyclic carbonate in relation to the weight of all monomers used being 5-90%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electrode coating for a lithium ion battery, said electrode coating comprising silicon as an active material and a copolymer C or a salt thereof, wherein the copolymer C or salt thereof can be prepared by polymerization of a combination of the following monomers: (a) vinyl-functional cyclic carbonate monomers, (b) one or more monomers selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid and derivatives thereof, and optionally (c) at least one further monomer, where monomers (a) and (b) together constitute more than 70% by weight of the combination of monomers, and monomer (a) constitutes 5-90% by weight of the combination of monomers. 2. The electrode coating as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the acrylic acid in the copolymer C constitutes 30-85% by weight of the combination of monomers. 3. The electrode coating as claimed claim 2 , wherein the monomers from which the copolymer C is prepared are selected from the group consisting of vinyl-functional cyclic carbonate monomers, acrylic acid monomers and derivatives of acrylic acid monomers. 4. The electrode coating as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a number average molar mass of the copolymer C is Mn=500-30000. 5. The electrode coating as claimed in claim 4 , which contains a sodium or lithium salt of the copolymer C. 6. The electrode coating as claimed claim 1 , wherein the monomers from which the copolymer C is prepared are selected from the group consisting of vinyl-functional cyclic carbonate monomers, acrylic acid monomers and derivatives of acrylic acid monomers. 7. The electrode coating as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a number average molar mass of the copolymer C is Mn=500-30000. 8. The electrode coating as claimed in claim 1 , which contains a sodium or lithium salt of the copolymer C.
