Table of content 18 Part 2: Anode Materials According to market study made by AVICENNE, anode material’s market weight 0.6 B$ in 2012 (representing 38 000T). This market has a CAGR of 14% between 2002-2012. Main compounds are: Graphite in its natural form or artificial Mesocarbon microbeads Some new materials enter into market such as amorphous phase, titanate (Li4Ti5O12) or Si or Sn phases. Table of content 19 Method for production of an anode for lithium ion battery CONTEXT In LIB development during past years, efforts were mainly done in cathode materials. However, in recent years, research were also made to replace the traditional graphite anode by other materials allowing better electrochemical performances. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The invention relates to a method for production of an anode for a lithium ion battery, said annode comprising a current collector made from a transition metal in a sponge form and an active material made from a binary phosphide. The method involves subjecting a transition metal sponge to the effect of phosphorous vapors at a temperature of 300-600 degree Celsius. The phosphorous is present in a stoichiometric amount with respect to the transition metal. An active material is made from a binary phosphide of the metal. The reaction between the metal sponge and the phosphorous is implemented during a time of 6-120 hours. BENEFITS The method allows an anode to be obtained which has a continuity solution between active material and a current collector in order to optimize the active material/current collector interface with better electronic conductivity so providing anode with improved cycling behavior. The method therefore eliminates the need to mix carbon with the active material to improve its electroconductivity. The method allows the synthesis of the active material and the production of the anode to be carried out in a single step so simplifying the production of the battery. The anode formed and its compounds are non-toxic, and are stable to the air and the water. The use of the sponge permits rapid reaction between the transition metal and phosphorus, and leads to a uniform deposit of the metal phosphide layer. INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS This invention could be used to develop the anode of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The anode and its components are not toxic and are stable in presence of water or air.

Table of content 24 Ionic conducting gels CONTEXT The sol-gel process is well known in the prior art, simple to implement, takes place under mild conditions and facilitates the shaping of materials. In a standard fashion, the sol-gel process consists of a hydrolysis and condensation process which, starting with a molecular precursor (true solution) leads to the formation of a colloidal solution (or sol) then, by connection of the colloidal particles, to the formation of a continuous solid skeleton named a gel. The non-hydrolytic sol-gel process is a particular case of a sol-gel process, taking place in the absence of water. Another notable particular case consists of a solgel process for obtaining silica gels by using formic acid (formation of water in situ) (Sharp, 1994; Dai, 2000). Ionic Liquids have remarkable properties such as zero volatility, a high ionic conductivity as well as catalytic properties. They are currently used in numerous fields, in particular as electrolytes. Inventors have decided to combine properties of silica gels and ionic liquids. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The invention describes a one-step process consisting in preparing a new ionic conductive gel in solid form known as ionogel. The method consist in a step of mixing an ionic liquid with at least one molecular precursor containing at least one hydrolysable group, if necessary in the presence of an acid such as carboxylic acid. The mixture is subsequently left to stand for one or more days until a gel is formed by polycondensation of the molecular precursor(s). The gel contains the aforementioned ionic liquid and can be set in particular in transparent monolithic solid form. BENEFITS Reference 63426 Keywords Sol-gel, ionic conductor.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The invention relates to a composite electrode which includes a mixture of active material particles (AM) and particles constituted with a material generating an electronic co The invention proposes to use sacrificial salt that during the first cycle will be oxidized producing by this way alkali ion such as lithium. This lithium will then be used to form the SEI, avoiding or reducing the loss of capacity. Reference 03402-01 Keywords SEI formation. Status of Patent Priority patent of invention n° FR1054804 filed in June 6th, 2010, entitled " Procédé pour l’élaboration d’une batterie au lithium ou sodium” Salts are chosen in order to produce only gases as byproduct of oxidation. These gases will then be eliminated of the system. LIB are generally sealed after the first cycle to allow gases formed by the electrolyte reduction due to the formation of the SEI to be evacuated. BENEFITS - Reduced loss due to SEI formation during first cycle. Production of porosity in the cathode which favors fast cinetic.

Table of content 29 Solid polymeric electrolyte for LIB CONTEXT Electrolyte is an important component of lithium-ion batteries. For a large part, electrolyte is made of a dissolved lithium salts in a mix of organic solvents. However, gel polymers are also used as electrolyte due to their facility to adopt different forms. Gel polymers are generally made of linear polymers (such as PEO or PVDF/hexafluoropropylene copolymer), lithium salt and organic solvants. Key criteria is the ionic conductivity at RT which is close to that of liquid electrolytes. It also exists all solid state LIB in which there is no organic solvent in the polymer. Main advantage is that there is no evaporation of solvents. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The present invention is a new solid polymeric electrolyte which comprises a polymeric matrix in the form of a semi-interpenetrating polymer network consisting of a linear elastomer, ie NBR (8.8 14.5 parts by weight) and a crosslinked ionic copolymer (35.0-58.1 parts by weight). This matrix includes a lithium salt solution (12.4 parts by weight) in an ionic liquid (15.0-43.8 parts by weight). Thin films can be made.

Many studies are therefore currently carried out on thin layer positive electrode materials. Vanadium(V) oxide (V2O5), and more generally oxides of transition metals having a lamellar structure, arouse intensive research works, since they are more promising than the sulphides because of their greater chemical stability, higher potentials as compared to the Li/Li+ redox cell and larger discharge capacities. There is still a need for thin layers positive electrodes for use in microbatteries presenting an improved behaviour in cycling. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The invention relates to an iron-doped vanadium oxide (FeyV2O5), the process of preparation thereof and to thin layers of positive electrode comprising irondoped vanadium oxide having a strong capacity and potentially usable in allsolid-state lithium microbatteries.

In order for a material to be able to be used as a collector, it is desirable for it to have a high electronic conductivity, good electrochemical stability and a large area of contact with the active material. Nanomaterials have a high area/volume ratio thereby increasing the reaction rates, by reducing the diffusional limitations, and the use of nanomaterials for production of current collectors is under development. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The invention relates to a self-supporting composite element and to a method of producing such element. The composite element comprises a substrate of electronic conductive material which is covered with metal nanowires that are essentially oriented along a plane that is perpendicular to the substrate. The element is produced in a cell comprising a cathode which is formed by the substrate to be covered, one or more anodes and an electrolyte which is formed by a solution of a precursor of the metal material and optionally containing a conductive ionic salt, a flat porous membrane which is placed between the cathode and each of the anodes and a spacer element between each membrane and the anode adjacent thereto, the different constituent parts of the cell being maintained in contact INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS.
