    摘要: Solid-state electrodes and methods of forming solid-state electrodes and batteries are provided. The method includes contacting an electrode precursor with a liquid. The liquid includes one or more precursors of an ionically conductive polymer. The electrode precursor includes a plurality of electroactive particles and a plurality of electrolyte particles disposed on a current collector. A plurality of interparticle pores exists between the electroactive and electrolyte particles. When the electrode precursor is contacted with the liquid, the liquid flows into the interparticle pores. The one or more precursors of the ionically conductive polymer are electropolymerized so as to cause the formation of a polymeric matrix (including the ionically conductive polymer) that surrounds and embeds the plurality of electroactive particles and the plurality of electrolyte particles so as to form the solid-state electrode.

    摘要: A method for forming a solid-state battery is provided. The method includes disposing one or more cell units along a continuous current collector to form a stack precursor. In some examples, disposing of the one or more cell units along the continuous current collector includes concurrently disposing the one or more cell units along the continuous current collector and winding the continuous current collector to form a stack. In other examples, the continuous current collector is a z-folded current collector and the disposing the one or more cell units along the continuous current collector includes inserting the one or more cell units into one or more pockets formed by folds of the continuous current collector. The method may further include applying heat, pressure, or a combination of heat and pressure to the stack precursor to form a compressed stack, and cutting the continuous current collector to form the solid-state battery.

    摘要: A method for forming a bipolar solid-state battery may include preparing a plurality of freestanding gels each comprising a polymer, a solvent, and a lithium salt and, also, positioning a first freestanding gel between a first electrode and a second electrode and a second freestanding gel between the second electrode and a third electrode. Each of the first electrode, the second electrode, and the third electrode may include a plurality of electroactive particles. The method may also include infiltrating at least a portion of the first free-standing gel into a space between particles of the first electrode and the second electrode and at least a portion of the second free-standing gel into a space between the particles of second electrode and the third electrode.
