Abstract: A method and apparatus for fabricating energy storage devices and device components is provided. It has been found that spraying of slurries comprising electro-active materials onto a flexible substrate and subsequently exposing the substrate to an increasing temperature gradient leads to the deposition of a dry or mostly dry film having reduced surface roughness. The increasing temperature gradient may result from a plurality of heated rollers over which the substrate traverses wherein each heated roller is heated to a temperature greater than the previous heated roller leading to the deposition of a dry or mostly dry film having a relatively smooth surface with low porosity. Deposition of a dry or mostly dry film eliminates the need for large and costly drying mechanism thus reducing both the cost and footprint of the apparatus.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to lithium-ion batteries, and more specifically, to batteries having integrated separators and methods of fabricating such batteries. In one embodiment, a lithium-ion battery having an electrode structure is provided. The lithium-ion battery comprises an anode stack, a cathode stack, and a porous electrospun polymer separator comprising a nano-fiber backbone structure. The anode stack comprises an anodic current collector and an anode structure formed over a first surface of the anodic current collector. The cathode stack comprises a cathodic current collector and a cathode structure formed over a first surface of the cathodic current collector. The porous electrospun polymer separator is positioned between the anode structure and the cathode structure.
