摘要:
Provided herein are energy storage device electrode films comprising multiple active layers, and methods of forming such multiple active layer energy storage device electrode films. Each active layer may be a self-supporting active layer comprising a binder and an active material. The binder and/or active material may be the same or different as any other active layer. The active layers may be stacked to form an electrode film, and the electrode film may be laminated with a current collector to form an electrode.
