Particle Containing a Graphite Based Nucleus Covered with at Least One Continuous or Discontinuous Layer, Processes for Preparing the Same and Their Uses
First Claim
1. Process for preparing a homogenous mixture of coated particles containing a graphite based conductive nucleus and at least one partial or complete coating of the surface of said nucleus, the coating being based on an interactive functional agent consisting of a material that differs in composition and/or in physical shape from the material that constitute the nucleus of the coated particles, said process including at least one step of crushing particles of the graphite nucleus together with particles of the interactive functional agent, the particles of graphite having an average size Y and those of the interactive functional agent having an average size X such that the ratio Y/X is smaller than 1.

Abstract
Process for preparing by crushing, a homogenous mixture of particles containing a conductive nucleus including at least one graphite and continuously or discontinuously coated with at least one material that is different from the one constituting the nucleus, the size of the particles of the nucleus being larger than the particles used for coating the nuclei by crushing the particles together. The mixtures of particles obtained show electrochemical and mechanical properties that enable them to be advantageously used in electrochemical batteries and in paints.
