Method of manufacturing an electrode active material particle for a rechargeable battery

摘要

A method of manufacturing an electrode active material particle for a rechargeable battery wherein a layer of an active material capable of being alloyed with Li is formed on a surface of a metal particle incapable of being alloyed with Li and then a heat treatment is conducted to diffuse the active material into the metal particle so that the resulting active material particle has a concentration profile in which a concentration of a metal element of the metal particle decreases from an interior toward the surface.
