Silver antimonide, Ag(3)Sb, in which silver and antimony are both electrochemically active toward lithium, has been studied as an anode for lithium-ion batteries. The rate of capacity fade on cycling was monitored as a function of the voltage window, which has provided further information about the causes of capacity fade in intermetallic electrode systems. From the voltage profiles, and by comparison with the behavior of SnSb, InSb and Cu(2)Sb electrodes, the electrochemical reaction of Li/Ag(3)Sb cells was determined to take place in several discrete stages: first, by a displacement reaction in which lithium replaces Ag in the Ag(3)Sb structure in a two-step process between 0.9 and 0.7 V to form Li(3)Sb via Li(2)AgSb; and second, by reaction of lithium with the extruded silver between 0.2 and 0.0 V to form Li(x)Ag compounds (1 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 4). The rate of capacity fade that occurs when cells are cycled between 1.2 and 0.0 V was significantly reduced by limiting the reaction to either: (1) the low voltage region (0.7-0.0 V), which provided a stable capacity of similar to300 mAh/g; or (2) to a wider operating window (1.2-0.1 V, 250 mAh/g), in which the formation of Li(x)Ag phases was suppressed.
