    摘要: A method of making a battery electrode is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes stages (A1), (A2), and (A3). Stage (A1) includes providing a battery electrode precursor composition. The battery electrode precursor composition includes an electrochemically active material and a polymerizable binder precursor. Stage (A2) includes processing the battery electrode precursor composition to form a battery electrode precursor disposed on and/or in a current collector. Stage (A3) includes transforming the battery electrode precursor to form a battery electrode including a binder. The transforming of the battery electrode precursor includes polymerizing the polymerizable binder precursor in the battery electrode precursor to form the binder. A battery electrode, a lithium-ion battery, and a method of making a lithium-ion battery are also disclosed.

    摘要: A lithium-ion battery and methods thereof are disclosed. In an aspect, the lithium-ion battery includes an anode component, a cathode component, a separator, and an electrolyte. The anode component includes an anode current collector and a respective anode coating on each side of the anode current collector. An anode coating includes composite particles including carbon and silicon. A mass fraction of the silicon in the composite particles of the anode coatings may be in a range of about 5 wt. % to about 70 wt. % of the anode coatings. The anode component undergoes a maximum areal expansion (Amax) during the multiple charging and discharging cycles. The anode current collector comprises a copper foil, the copper foil being characterized, before the respective anode coatings are formed thereon, by an ultimate tensile stress (UTS) and a strain at the UTS (εUTS).
