摘要: In an embodiment, a Li-ion battery electrode comprises a conductive interlayer arranged between a current collector and an electrode active material layer. The conductive interlayer comprises first conductive additives and a first polymer binder, and the electrode active material layer comprises a plurality of active material particles mixed with a second polymer binder (which may be the same as or different from the first polymer binder) and second conductive additives (which may be the same as or different from the first conductive additives). In a further embodiment, the Li-ion battery electrode may be fabricated via application of successive slurry formulations onto the current collector, with the resultant product then being calendared (or densified).

摘要: In an aspect, a Li-ion cell may comprise a densified electrode exhibiting an areal capacity loading of more than about 4 mAh/cm2. For example, the densified electrode may a first electrode part arranged on a current collector and a second electrode part on top of the first electrode part, the second electrode part of the at least one densified electrode having a higher porosity than the first electrode part of the at least one densified electrode. In some designs, the densified electrode may be fabricated by densifying electrode layers via a pressure roller while maintaining a contacting part of the pressure roller at a temperature that is less than a temperature of the second electrode part. In some designs, the applied pressure is a time-varying (e.g., frequency modulated) pressure. In some designs, a drying time for a slurry to produce the densified electrode may range from around 1-120 seconds.

摘要: Battery electrode compositions are provided comprising core-shell composites. Each of the composites may comprise, for example, an active material, a collapsible core, and a shell. The active material may be provided to store and release metal ions during battery operation, whereby the storing and releasing of the metal ions causes a substantial change in volume of the active material. The collapsible core may be disposed in combination with the active material to accommodate the changes in volume. The shell may at least partially encase the active material and the core, the shell being formed from a material that is substantially permeable to the metal ions stored and released by the active material.

摘要: Metal-ion battery cells are provided that take advantage of the disclosed “doping” process. The cells may be fabricated from anode and cathode electrodes, a separator, and an electrolyte. A metal-ion additive may be incorporated into (i) one or more of the electrodes, (ii) the separator, or (iii) the electrolyte. The metal-ion additive provides additional donor ions corresponding to the metal ions stored and released by anode and cathode active material particles. An activation potential may then be applied to the anode and cathode electrodes to release the additional donor ions into the battery cell.
