@article{PATENT, recid = {9315}, title = {Negative electrodes for lithium cells and batteries}, number = {PATENT}, month = {Feb}, year = {2005}, abstract = {A negative electrode is disclosed for a non-aqueous electrochemical cell. The electrode has an intermetallic compound as its basic structural unit with the formula M2M' in which M and M' are selected from two or more metal elements including Si, and the M2M' structure is a Cu2Sb-type structure. Preferably M is Cu, Mn and/or Li, and M' is Sb. Also disclosed is a non-aqueous electrochemical cell having a negative electrode of the type described, an electrolyte and a positive electrode. A plurality of cells may be arranged to form a battery.}, url = {http://knowledge.uchicago.edu/record/9315}, }
