Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In the present disclosure, the problem is solved by providing an electrode active material of which volume change due to charging and discharging is small. The electrode active material has a silicon-clathrate-II-type crystal phase. In the electrode active material, a five-membered ring size in the crystal phase is 3.752 Å or more and 3.780 Å or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An electrode active material having a silicon-clathrate-II-type crystal phase, wherein a five-membered ring size in the crystal phase is 3.752 Å or more and 3.780 Å or less. 2 . The electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein the electrode active material has a gap on an inside of a primary particle. 3 . An electrode mixture containing: an electrode active material according to claim 1 ; and at least one of a conductive material or a binder. 4 . A battery, comprising: a positive-electrode layer; a negative-electrode layer; and an electrolyte layer disposed between the positive-electrode layer and the negative-electrode layer, wherein the positive-electrode layer or the negative-electrode layer contains the electrode mixture according to claim 3 . 5 . The battery according to claim 4 , wherein the electrolyte layer contains a solid electrolyte.
