Abstract: The present disclosure relates to high capacity (e.g., areal capacity greater than about 4 mAh/cm2 to less than or equal to about 50 mAh/cm2) electrodes for electrochemical cells. An example electrode may include a current collector (e.g., meshed current collector) and one or more electroactive material layers having thicknesses greater than about 150 μm to less than or equal to about 5 mm. The electroactive material layers may each include lithium manganese iron phosphate (LiMnxFe1-xPO4, where 0≤x≤1) (LMFP). The electrode may further include one or more electronically conductive adhesive layers disposed between the current collector and the electroactive material layers. The adhesive layers may include one or more polymer components and one or more conductive fillers. The electroactive material layers may be gradient layers, where sublayers closer to the current collector has a lower porosity than layers further from the current collector.

Abstract: A method includes determining a state of charge (SOC) of the battery and charging the battery using a plurality of charging steps. If the SOC of the battery is less than a predetermined SOC, the battery is charged at a first charge rate (C-rate) in a range from 3 C to 4 C in a first step until the SOC of the battery increases by a first ΔSOC. After the first ΔSOC, the battery is charged in the constant current mode at a second C-rate of 3−(1/n) C in a second step to (2+n−1)th step until the SOC of the battery increases by a second ΔSOC, where n is an integer greater than zero. After the second ΔSOC, the battery is charged in the constant current mode at a third C- rate of 2+ (1/n) C in a (2+n)th step until the SOC of the battery increases by a third ΔSOC.
