AN IMPROVED LITHIUM BATTERY ELECTRODE

摘要

Disclosed herein is a lithium battery wherein a surfactant is combined with one or more electrodes to produce a more efficient and safer battery. This combination appears to preclude the normal development of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on the electrodes as occurs with electrodes that are not coated with a surfactant. This electrode surface phenomenon is useful with several different electrolyte systems.
