Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein is a silicon-based anode active material, comprising a silicon phase, a SiO x (0<x<2) phase and a carbon dioxide phase. Also disclosed is a secondary battery, which comprises a cathode comprising a cathode active material, an anode active material comprising an anode active material, and a separator, wherein the anode active material comprises a silicon phase, an SiO x (0<x<2) phase and a silicon dioxide phase.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A silicon-based anode active material particle having a center portion of the particle and a center-periphery portion of the particle, the particle comprising: a silicon phase; a SiO x (0<x<2) phase; and a silicon dioxide phase wherein the silicon dioxide phase is dispersed in the SiO x phase and comprises cristoballite, wherein the concentration of the silicon dioxide phase is higher in the center-periphery portion than in the center portion, wherein the concentration of the silicon phase is higher in the center portion than in the center-periphery portion. 2. The silicon-based anode active material particle of claim 1 , wherein the silicon dioxide phase is crystalline. 3. The silicon-based anode active material particle of claim 1 , wherein the SiO x is silicon monoxide. 4. The silicon-based anode active material particle of claim 1 , wherein the silicon dioxide phase is present in an amount of 2-50 wt % based on the weight of the silicon-based anode active material particle. 5. The silicon-based anode active material particle of claim 1 , wherein the silicon phase and the silicon dioxide phase are formed by disproportionation of SiO x (0<x<2). 6. The silicon-based anode active material particle of claim 1 , further comprising a carbon coating material. 7. A secondary battery, which comprises a cathode comprising a cathode active material, an anode comprising an anode active material, and a separator, wherein the anode active material comprises the silicon-based anode active material particle of claim 1 .
