Patent ID: 11916187
Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  C  Y | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An electrode for an electrochemical device, the electrode comprising:
a lithium host material phase; and
a solid-state conductive material phase comprising a ceramic material having a crystal structure and a dopant in the crystal structure, the conductive material phase having a lithium-ion conductivity and a conductive material electronic conductivity wherein the conductive material electronic conductivity is greater than a reference electronic conductivity of a reference material comprising the ceramic material having the crystal structure without the dopant in the crystal structure, the conductive material phase filling at least part of a structure of the lithium host material phase,
wherein the dopant is selected from the group consisting of transition metal ions and mixtures thereof, and
wherein the electrode does not include a separate phase, other than the lithium host material phase and the solid-state conductive material phase, that provides an electrical pathway from a current collector to the lithium host material phase.
