Abstract

Provided are negative electrode compositions for lithium-ion electrochemical cells that include metal oxides and polymeric binders. Also provided are electrochemical cells and battery packs that include electrodes made with these compositions.

Claims (22)

1. An electrode composition for a negative electrode comprising:

a powdered material; and

a polymeric binder,

wherein the powdered material includes an intercalating metal oxide, wherein the metal oxide is capable of undergoing lithiation and delithiation, and wherein the polymeric binder includes a lithium polyacrylate, and

wherein the powdered material comprises LiVO 2 in which up to 15 mole percent of the V is replaced by a combination of lithium and molybdenum.

2. A lithium-ion electrochemical cell comprising:

a positive electrode,

an electrolyte; and

a negative electrode that comprises an electrode composition according to claim 1 .

3. A battery pack comprising at least one lithium-ion electrochemical cell according to claim 2 .

4. An electronic device comprising a battery pack according to claim 3 .

5. An electrode composition for a negative electrode comprising:

a powdered material; and

a polymeric binder,

wherein the powdered material includes an intercalating metal oxide, wherein the metal oxide is capable of undergoing lithiation and delithiation, and wherein the polymeric binder includes a lithium polyacrylate, and

wherein the powdered material comprises at least one of LiVO 2 , Li 1.1 V 0.85 Mo 0.05 O 2 , Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 , TiO 2 , WO 2 , or MoO 2 .

6. A lithium-ion electrochemical cell comprising:

a positive electrode,

an electrolyte; and

a negative electrode that comprises an electrode composition according to claim 5 .

7. A battery pack comprising at least one lithium-ion electrochemical cell according to claim 6 .

8. An electronic device comprising a battery pack according to claim 7 .
