Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Battery electrode compositions and methods of fabrication are provided that utilize composite particles. Each of the composite particles may comprise, for example, a high-capacity active material and a porous, electrically-conductive scaffolding matrix material. The active material may store and release ions during battery operation, and may exhibit (i) a specific capacity of at least 220 mAh/g as a cathode active material or (ii) a specific capacity of at least 400 mAh/g as an anode active material. The active material may be disposed in the pores of the scaffolding matrix material. According to various designs, each composite particle may exhibit at least one material property that changes from the center to the perimeter of the scaffolding matrix material.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A battery electrode composition comprising composite particles, each composite particle comprising: a high-capacity active material provided to store and release ions during battery operation, wherein the active material exhibits (i) a specific capacity of at least 220 mAh/g as a cathode active material or (ii) a specific capacity of at least 400 mAh/g as an anode active material; and a porous, electrically-conductive scaffolding matrix material within the pores of which the active material is disposed, wherein each composite particle exhibits at least one material property that changes from the center to the perimeter of the scaffolding matrix material.
