Title:
NEGATIVE ELECTRODE FOR RECHARGEABLE BATTERY WITH NONAQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/046327
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This invention provides a negative electrode for a rechargeable battery with a nonaqueous electrolyte, which negative electrode comprises an active material layer containing a material that can occlude and release lithium. When the material is subjected to Raman spectrometry as measured in the thicknesswise direction of the active material layer after charge/discharge of the negative electrode, the average peak position of a peak of a Raman spectrum is shifted in the range of -10.5 to -40.5 cm-1 relative to the reference peak position of the Raman spectrum of the material. Preferably, the active material layer contains particles of the material, and a metal material having a low capability of forming a lithium compound has been penetrated into among the particles. Preferably, the metal material has been precipitated and penetrated by electroplating using a copper pyrophosphate bath or an alkaline nickel bath. According to the above constitution, a negative electrode for a rechargeable battery with a nonaqueous electrolyte can be provided which can allow the active material to contribute homogeneously to an electrode reaction over the whole area in the thicknesswise direction of the active material layer.
