An electrode for a lithium-ion battery cell includes a first region having a first thickness and including an active material comprising a first wt % of the first region and a solid electrolyte comprising a second wt % of the first region. A second region has a second thickness and includes the active material comprising a third wt % of the second region and the solid electrolyte comprising a fourth wt % of the second region. The first region and the second region are arranged adjacent to one another. The first wt % is greater than the third wt % and the second wt % is less than the fourth wt %.
