Abstract:
Provided is an anode active material layer for a lithium battery. This layer comprises multiple particulates of an anode active material, wherein at least a particulate is composed of one or a plurality of particles of a high-capacity anode active material being encapsulated by a thin layer of elastomeric material that has a lithium ion conductivity no less than 10 −7  S/cm (preferably no less than 10 −5  S/cm) at room temperature and an encapsulating shell thickness from 1 nm to 10 μm, and wherein the high-capacity anode active material (e.g. Si, Ge, Sn, SnO 2 , Co 3 O 4 , etc.) has a specific capacity of lithium storage greater than 372 mAh/g (the theoretical lithium storage limit of graphite).

Claim (Index 16):
The anode active material layer of  claim 1 , wherein said sulfonated elastomeric material is an elastomer matrix composite containing a lithium ion-conducting additive dispersed in a sulfonated elastomer matrix material, wherein said lithium ion-conducting additive contains a lithium salt selected lithium perchlorate (LiClO 4 ), lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6 ), lithium borofluoride, (LiBF 4 ), lithium hexafluoroarsenide (LiAsF 6 ), lithium trifluoro-metasulfonate (LiCF 3 SO 3 ), bis-trifluoromethyl sulfonylimide lithium (LiN(CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 ), lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB), lithium oxalyldifluoroborate (LiBF 2 C 2 O 4 ), lithium oxalyldifluoroborate (LiBF 2 C 2 O 4 ), lithium nitrate (LiNO 3 ) Li-Fluoroalkyl-Phosphates (LiPF 3 (CF 2 CF 3 ) 3 ), lithium bisperfluoro-ethysulfonylimide (LiBETI), lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulphonyl)imide, lithium bis(fluorosulphonyl)imide, lithium trifluoromethanesulfonimide (LiTFSI), an ionic liquid-based lithium salt, or a combination thereof.
