Provided is a process for the degradation of at least one polymer of an alkene carbonate, a polymeric composition for a lithium-ion battery electrode having a degradation residue obtained by this process, a process for the preparation thereof, an electrode and a battery incorporating it and a degradation process for the sintering of ceramics. The degradation process includes a reaction at 120° C. and 270° C., and under air of a primary amine with a poly(alkene carbonate) polyol, which depolymerizes it in order to obtain a non-polymeric degradation residue. This composition includes an active material, an electrically conductive filler, a polymeric binder and a residue from the degradation under air between 120° C. and 270° C. of a sacrificial phase which includes the polymer and which has been melt blended beforehand with the active material, with the filler and with the binder in order to obtain a precursor mixture of the composition.
