    Abstract: A system including a lithium-ion battery cell is disclosed. The lithium-ion battery cell includes a first electrode. The first electrode includes a current collector including a surface and an electrode coating formed from an electrode coating slurry and disposed on the current collector. The electrode coating slurry includes a plurality of flakes of flake graphite. Each of the plurality of flakes includes two parallel planar surfaces and an edge plane defined by the two parallel planar surfaces. The edge planes of the plurality of flakes are statistically facing toward the surface of the current collector. The first electrode further includes a conductive material including a high aspect ratio nano-sized carbon material. The carbon material is configured for providing attractive forces between components of the electrode coating. The lithium-ion battery cell further includes a second electrode, a separator disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and an electrolyte.

    Abstract: An electrochemical battery cell may include an electrode assembly, a liquid electrolyte, a metallic battery enclosure or “can,” and a liquid solution. The electrode assembly and the electrolyte solution may be disposed within the battery can. The liquid solution may be disposed between the electrode assembly and the battery can. The liquid solution may include an organic solvent, a cross-linkable polymer and a cross-linking agent which may be converted into a conductive layer by reacting the cross-linkable polymer and the cross-linking agent of the liquid solution to form a reaction product. The liquid solution may include an ion conducting salt. The reaction product may be a polymer matrix and the organic solvent and/or the ion conducting salt may be contained within the polymer matrix. Reacting the cross-linkable polymer and the cross-linking agent may include applying heat to the liquid solution to convert the liquid solution into the reaction product.
