This study focuses on the optimization of innovative composite materials Si/Intermetallic/Al/C used as negative electrode in lithium-ion batteries. The aim of this work is optimization of the composition for the material (20Ni-48Sn-20Si-3Al-9C) to improve its electrochemical performances. All materials are made up of silicon nanoparticles embedded in a sub micrometrical matrix. Several issues have been studied in this essay: optimization of the silicon and carbon contents, influence of the silicon surface composition, and substitution of the former intermetallic Ni3+xSn4 by other ones: zinc aluminium compound Al0,23Zn0,77 and two intermetallics Cu6Sn5 et CoSn. Metallic compounds and composites have been synthesised by powder metallurgy and ...
