The invention relates to a silicon material with an SEI stabilizing additive, suitable for use as an anode in a lithium-ion battery and to a method of producing said anode. The additive may improve the properties of a silicon anode in a lithium-ion battery such as the energy density, charge retention capacity, storage capacity and stability with respect to charge/discharge rate. The battery is suitable for use in electric appliances such as mobile phones and electronic vehicles. |
