Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides an active material for lithium-ion batteries, having low expansion during initial charging and a high non-expansion region retention rate even with repeated charging-discharging, and a lithium-ion battery comprising such an active material for batteries. The active material for lithium-ion batteries of the present disclosure comprises silicon clathrate comprising type I silicon clathrate and type II silicon clathrate. In the active material for lithium-ion batteries, a ratio of a content ratio of the type I silicon clathrate relative to a content ratio of the type II silicon clathrate is 0.01% or greater and 53% or less. The lithium-ion battery of the present disclosure comprises a negative electrode active material layer, and the negative electrode active material layer comprises the active material for lithium-ion batteries of the present disclosure.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An active material for lithium-ion batteries, comprising silicon clathrate comprising type I silicon clathrate and type II silicon clathrate, wherein a ratio of a content ratio of the type I silicon clathrate relative to a content ratio of the type II silicon clathrate is 0.01% or greater and 53% or less. 2 . The active material for lithium-ion batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio is 0.1% or greater and 15% or less. 3 . The active material for lithium-ion batteries according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a mass of the type I silicon clathrate relative to a total mass of all components contained in the active material is 0.01% by mass or greater and 33% by mass or less. 4 . The active material for lithium-ion batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the type I silicon clathrate and/or type II silicon clathrate is porous silicon clathrate. 5 . A lithium-ion battery, comprising a negative electrode active material layer, wherein the negative electrode active material layer comprises the active material for lithium-ion batteries according to claim 1 .
