Abstract

The present invention pertains to a process for manufacturing a film, said process comprising: (i) providing a composition [composition (C)] comprising, preferably consisting of: - at least one fluoropolymer [polymer (F)] comprising recurring units derived from at least one fluorinated monomer comprising a -SO 3 M functional group, wherein M is an alkaline metal [monomer (FM)] and - a liquid medium [medium (L)] comprising at least 50% by weight, based on the total weight of said medium (L), of at least one alkyl carbonate; (ii) processing the composition (C) provided in step (i) into a film; and (iii) drying the film provided in step (ii). The present invention further pertains to use of said film in a process for manufacturing a lithium electrode and to use of said lithium electrode in a process for manufacturing a lithium-sulphur battery.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority from European Application No. 14306878.1 filed on November 25, 2014, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes. technical field [0003] The invention relates to a method for producing a thin film, the use of the thin film in a method for producing a lithium electrode and the use of the lithium electrode in a method for producing a lithium-sulfur battery. Background technique [0004] Sulfur is abundant, cheap and non-toxic. Rechargeable lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are expected to deliver theoretical energy densities of up to 2600 Wh / kg, suitable for electric vehicles with charge autonomy of 500 km or more. However, the commercialization of these batteries is hampered by unresolved technical issues related to the insulating properties of sulfur and the high solubility of lithium polysulfides in the electrolyte. Different strategies have been ...
