Patent No. EP3683871 (titled "Negative Electrode Active Material For Lithium Secondary Battery And Lithium Secondary Battery Comprising Same") was filed by LG Chem on Oct 26, 2018. The application was issued on Dec 1, 2021.
A negative electrode active material for lithium-ion batteries comprising two types of carbon-based particles and a silicon-based particle. The material comprises 5-20 wt% of a first carbon-based particle with a specific surface area of 1.5-4.5 m2/g, 55-90 wt% of a second carbon-based particle with a specific surface area of 0.4-1.5 m2/g, and 1-40 wt% of a silicon-based particle. The material enables high energy density while mitigating the volume expansion and capacity degradation associated with silicon-based electrodes.

Patent oppositions filed by competitors challenge the validity of a granted patent. These oppositions are typically based on claims of prior art, lack of novelty, or non-obviousness. They are a key part of the process for determining a patent's strength and enforceability.
The dossier documents provide a comprehensive record of the patent's prosecution history - including filings, correspondence, and decisions made by patent offices - and are crucial for understanding the patent's legal journey and any challenges it may have faced during examination.
