Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The disclosed methods of making porous silicon clathrate electrode active materials include (a) providing a composition comprising silicon clathrate particles comprising a type I silicon clathrate and a type II silicon clathrate, and (b) removing at least a portion of the type I silicon clathrate to form pores in the silicon clathrate particles or increasing pores in the silicon clathrate particles.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A production method of a porous silicon clathrate electrode active material, the production method comprising: (a) providing a composition including silicon clathrate particles containing a type I silicon clathrate and a type II silicon clathrate; and (b) removing at least part of the type I silicon clathrate to form pores in the silicon clathrate particles, or to increase pores in the silicon clathrate particles. 2 . The production method according to claim 1 , wherein a proportion of mass of the type I silicon clathrate as to a total mass of the composition containing the silicon clathrate particles is 5.0% by mass or more. 3 . The production method according to claim 1 , wherein in (b), the silicon clathrate particles are brought into contact with a hydrogen fluoride solution to remove at least part of the type I silicon clathrate. 4 . The production method according to claim 3 , wherein a solvent of the hydrogen fluoride solution is a mixed solvent of water and an organic solvent. 5 . The production method according to claim 1 , wherein the silicon clathrate electrode active material is used for a cathode active material of a lithium-ion battery. 6 . A production method of a lithium-ion battery, the production method comprising: producing a silicon clathrate electrode active material by the production method according to claim 1 ; and forming an electrode active material layer containing the silicon clathrate electrode active material.
