This invention provides a thick
electrode, its preparation method, and its applications. The thick
electrode includes a
current collector and at least two
electrode layers located on the surface of the
current collector. An electrospun layer is disposed between the electrode
layers. The active material in the electrode layer closer to the
current collector surface is a large-particle-size active material, while the active material in the electrode layer farther from the current collector surface is a small-particle-size active material. This invention improves the electrode loading and thickness by designing at least two electrode
layers and optimizing the
particle size distribution of the main active material in each layer, thereby increasing the specific capacity and
energy density of the battery. Simultaneously, the electrospun layer connects the electrode layers, creating a
porosity gradient distribution along the direction perpendicular to the electrode, constructing efficient
ion diffusion and conduction channels and
electron transport channels. This results in good
ion diffusion and conduction, reduces polarization during charging and discharging, and ensures
high energy density and
power performance of the battery.
