    摘要: Systems and methods for multiple carbon precursors for enhanced battery electrode robustness may include an electrode having an active material, the active material including two or more carbon precursor materials, wherein the carbon precursor materials have different pyrolysis temperatures. A battery may include the electrode. The carbon precursor materials may include polyimide (PI) and polyamide-imide (PAI). The active material may be pyrolyzed at a temperature such that a first carbon precursor material is partially pyrolyzed and a second carbon precursor material is completely pyrolyzed. The carbon precursor materials may include two or more of PI, PAI, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), and sodium alginate. The active material may include silicon constituting at least 50% of weight of a formed anode after pyrolysis. The active material may include silicon constituting up to 97% of weight of a formed electrode after pyrolysis.

    摘要: Systems and methods for silosilazanes, silosiloxanes, and siloxanes as additives for silicon-dominant anodes in a battery that may include a cathode, an electrolyte, and an anode active material. The active material may comprise 50% or more silicon as well as an additive including one or more of: silosilazane, silicon oxycarbides, and polyorganosiloxane. The silosilazane may comprise one or more amine groups, silanols, silyl ethers, sylil chlorides, dialkylamoinosilanes, silyl hydrides, and cyclic azasilanes. The active material may comprise a film with a thickness between 10 and 80 microns. The film may have a conductivity of 1 S/cm or more. The active material may comprise between 50% and 95% silicon. The active material may be held together by a pyrolyzed carbon film. The anode may comprise lithium, sodium, potassium, silicon, and/or mixtures and combinations thereof. The battery may comprise a lithium ion battery. The electrolyte may comprise a liquid, solid, or gel.
