Abstract From the Canadian patent

A carbon material having a superior reversibility in the lithium intercalation-deintercalation reaction is used in a non-aqueous secondary battery as the active material for the negative electrode. The result is a high energy density and excellent rapid charging and discharging characteristics. Graphite powder having a maximum particle diameter of less than 100 µm and a fraction of rhombohedral structure in the crystalline structure of less than 20% is used as the active material for the negative electrode of the battery. This graphite powder can be obtained by pulverizing raw graphite with a jet mill and subsequently treating the powder at a temperature equal to or higher than 900°C.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed April 10, 1996 and granted August 8, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 10, 2016.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 10, 2018.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
