Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A negative active material, including a silicon-carbon composite including silicon and amorphous carbon, a metal oxide, and a metal silicate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A negative active material, comprising: a silicon-carbon composite including silicon and amorphous carbon; a metal oxide; and a metal silicate, wherein: an amount of the metal oxide is about 0.21 wt % to about 14 wt %, based on a total weight of the negative active material, an amount of the metal silicate is about 0.1 wt % to about 7 wt % based on a total weight of the negative active material, and an amount of the metal oxide is greater than an amount of the metal silicate. 2. The negative active material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal oxide is an oxide of Mg, Zn, Al, Fe, Ni, or a combination thereof. 3. The negative active material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal silicate is a silicate of Mg, Zn, Al, Fe, Ni, or a combination thereof. 4. The negative active material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal oxide is an Mg oxide. 5. The negative active material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal silicate is an Mg silicate. 6. The negative active material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an amount of the metal oxide is about 0.25 wt % to about 14 wt % based on a total weight of the negative active material. 7. The negative active material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal of the metal oxide and the metal silicate is the same. 8. The negative active material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the amorphous carbon is soft carbon or hard carbon, a mesophase pitch carbonized product, sintered cokes, or a combination thereof. 9. The negative active material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the silicon-carbon composite includes amorphous carbon coated on a surface of the silicon. 10. The negative active material of claim 1 , wherein the silicon-carbon composite further includes crystalline carbon. 11. A rechargeable lithium battery, comprising: a negative electrode including the negative active material of claim 1 ; a positive electrode; and an electrolyte. 12. The negative active material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal oxide is an oxide of Zn, Al, Fe, Ni, or a combination thereof.
