AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, uncertainty about how to successfully disperse the material in water hampers the implementation of water treatment for electrode production.
Water treatment brings problems such as agglomeration due to strong interparticle interactions and poor wettability of the cathode dispersion on the aluminum foil current collector
Emulsifiers and water-soluble polymer binders have been suggested but have not been successfully implemented
The emulsifier cannot be removed after drying and reduces the conductivity of the cathode material, resulting in reduced energy capacity and unstable cycle performance
Water-soluble polymers containing hydroxyl or carboxyl groups will change the pH value of the slurry during processing, thereby destroying the uniformity of the cathode slurry

Abstract

The present invention generally relates to materials for electrochemical cells, e.g., for use in batteries such as lithium-ion batteries, and other applications. For example, certain embodiments of the present invention provide a composition for an aqueous slurry or an aqueous slurry composition for the manufacture of an electrode for an electrochemical cell. The slurry, in certain embodiments, comprises a combination of ionomer, binder, conducting additive, electroactive materials, and water. The ionomer, in some embodiments, includes a polymer backbone, one or more anionic substituents (which may be in the backbone and / or in one or more pendant groups), and one or more cations.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to electrochemical cell materials and methods for use in lithium ion batteries and other batteries and other applications Background technique [0002] At present, the preparation of battery electrodes requires the use of conventional lithium ion binders (such as polyvinylidene fluoride; [0003] (PVDF)) is dissolved with an organic solvent, the solution is homogenized with a powdered electrode material and a conductive agent, and then the slurry is applied on a metal current collector material, such as aluminum or copper. When the solvent evaporates, the organic solvent can bind the powdered electrode particles to each other and to the current collector. The most widely used electrode materials (such as lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminate, and carbon-based anodes) are unstable in aqueous environments, and toxic and flammable organic solvents must be used....
