Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for preparing an electroactive material for an electrochemical cell that cycles lithium ions. The method includes immersing a plurality of electroactive material particles in an aqueous solution and adding one or more fluorinated lithium salts to the aqueous solution to form a protective particle coating on each of the electroactive material particles of the plurality of electroactive material particles, where the plurality of electroactive material particles defines the electroactive material. The protective particle coatings are continuous coatings that cover greater than or equal to about 95% of a total exposed surface area of each electroactive material particle of the plurality of electroactive material particles.

Abstract: An electrode assembly that includes a current collector, a lithium foil, and a solid solution interface that chemically binds the current collector and the lithium foil is provided. The solid solution interface includes a portion of the current collector that is impregnated with lithium atoms diffused from the lithium foil. In some variations, a method for forming the electrode assembly includes heating a precursor electrode assembly that includes a current collector and a lithium metal film to a temperature that is less than a melting point of lithium, so that lithium atoms diffuse into the current collector during the heating. In other variations, a method for forming the electrode assembly includes disposing a molten lithium onto a heated current collector to form a precursor electrode assembly, and cooling the assembly to form a lithium metal layer that is chemically bonded to the current collector.

Abstract: An electrode including an electrochemical layer defining a surface having a plurality of dimples formed thereon is provided. The dimples have an average lateral size greater than or equal to about 100 nm to less than or equal to about 100 μm, and an average depth greater than or equal to about 100 nm to less than or equal to about 50 μm. In certain variations, the dimples are formed in situ by applying a current to the electrochemical layer. In other variations, the dimples are formed by moving a roller having a plurality of shapes defined thereon along one or more surfaces of the electrochemical layer. In still other variations, the dimples are formed by contacting one or more surfaces of the electrochemical layer with a chemical etchant.

Abstract: A composite electrode for an electrochemical cell that cycles lithium ions may include a metal current collector having a three-dimensional porous structure defining an interconnected network of open pores and an electrode material disposed within the open pores of the current collector. An oxygen-containing reactive layer may be formed on surfaces of the current collector and an electrode precursor mixture may be deposited thereon and dried to form a solid electrode material having a continuous structure within the open pores of the current collector. The electroactive material particles and/or the electrically conductive agent may interact with the oxygen-containing reactive layer on the metal current collector to form an oxygen-containing adhesive layer along an interface between the current collector and the solid electrode material. The electroactive material particles and the electrically conductive agent may be chemically bonded to the current collector via hydrogen bonds within the oxygen-containing adhesive layer.
