    摘要: Materials and methods for preparing dry cathode electrode film including reduced binder content are described. The cathode electrode film may be a self-supporting film including a single binder. The binder loading may be 3 weight % or less. In a first aspect, a method for preparing a dry free standing electrode film for an energy storage device is provided, comprising nondestructively mixing a cathode active material, a porous carbon, and optionally a conductive carbon to form an active material mixture, adding a single fibrillizable binder to the active material mixture, nondestructively mixing to form an electrode film mixture, and calendering the electrode film mixture to form a free standing electrode film.

    摘要: Hybrid electrochemical cells and modules include an anode two-sided current collector a coated with host material in anode region(s) and a cathode two-sided current collector coated with active material in cathode region(s), and one or more of the anode current collector and the cathode current collector is coated with capacitor material in one or more distinct, non-overlapping capacitor regions. A hybrid anode and/or cathode can include gaps between capacitor regions and anode regions and cathode regions. The capacitor material applied to an electrode is different from the host or active material thereof. Active material includes lithium metal oxides and lithium metal phosphates such as LiFePO4, Li(NixMnyCoz)O2, and/or LiMn2O4; host material includes graphite, silicon, silicon-Li/Sn/Cu alloys, Si/Co/Fe/TiSn oxides, and low-surface area carbon; and capacitor material includes activated carbon, metal oxides, and metal sulfides.
