摘要: A screen-printable electrode battery ink is described comprising a slurry of an active ingredient, conductive additive, a binder, and a solvent, the slurry having a solids content from about 40% by weight to about 70% by weight that is uniformly distributed in the solvent, wherein the ink has a thixotropic recovery rate from about 30 seconds to about 90 seconds, and wherein the binder has untwisted molecular chains. Methods for making the screen-printable electrode battery ink are also described. The screen-printable electrode battery inks can be used to screen print electrodes, for use in fast-charging battery. Fast-charging batteries can be incorporated into electronic devices, such as electric vehicles.

摘要: Reduction in the tortuosity of electrodes is a favored strategy to enhance the fast-charging capability of lithium-ion batteries by optimizing the ion-transfer kinetics. A facile, low-cost, highly controllable, and high-output continual additive manufacturing roll-to-roll screen printing technology is disclosed herein to render customized vertical channels within electrodes. High-accuracy vertical channels were fabricated by applying as-developed inks, using LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2, for example, as the cathode material. The optimized screen-printed electrode exhibited a seven-fold higher specific charge capacity (72 mAh/g) at a current rate of 6 C and superior stability compared with that of the conventional bar-coated electrode (10 mAh/g, 6 C) at a mass loading of 10 mg/cm2.
