    摘要: The present disclosure provides an electrode for use in an electrochemical cell that cycles lithium ions. The electrode has a thickness greater than or equal to about 50 micrometers to less than or equal to about 500 micrometers and includes an electroactive material, a polytetrafluoroethylene-based binder, and a porous crystalline material additive. For example, the electrode may include greater than or equal to about 0.01 wt. % to less than or equal to about 20 wt. % of the porous crystalline material additive, and greater than or equal to about 0.01 wt. % to less than or equal to about 20 wt. % of the polytetrafluoroethylene-based binder. The porous crystalline material additive is selected from the group consisting of: metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), and combinations thereof.

    摘要: A capacitor-assisted electrode for an electrochemical cell that cycles lithium ions is provided. The capacitor-assisted electrode may include at least two electroactive materials disposed on one or more surfaces of a current collector. A first electroactive material of the at least two electroactive materials may have a first reversible specific capacity and forms a first electroactive material having a first press density. A second electroactive material of the at least two electroactive materials has a second reversible specific capacity and forms a second electroactive material having a second press density. The second reversible specific capacity may be different from the first reversible specific capacity. The second press density may be different from the first press density. One or more capacitor materials may be disposed on or intermingled with one or more of the at least two electroactive materials.
