Abstract

The invention relates to negative electrodes for high-energy lithium-ion batteries, which contain Li—Me oxide with Me═Mn, Cr, Ni or Co as active cathode material, and to their production. The electrode composition contains a latex additive based on an acrylic acid derivative copolymer and a polymer binder containing butadiene units. The electrodes are produced by dispersing the carbon black, homogenized with the latex additive, in a solvent and mixing it with the graphite, and by stirring it to form a homogeneous composition, and not incorporating the polymer binder and applying the electrode composition thus obtained to the support substrate until the final stage.
