AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

May be difficult to provide good contact between electrode material and electrolyte
In the case of loose or no contact, the capacity of the battery cannot be fully reached, and the internal resistance of the battery will be relatively high, which will limit the performance of the battery

Embodiment 1

[0146] This example shows electrodes fabricated as follows:

[0147] Step 1. Preparation of the cathode, using NCM811 (nickel cobalt manganese 811) as the positive electrode electroactive material. The cathode was prepared as follows: (i) mixed ~3 wt% polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binder in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) to form an NMP-binder mixture; (ii) mixed NMP - the binder mixture is mixed with positive electrode electroactive material and carbon black to form a mixture comprising 80 wt% positive electrode electroactive material, 10 wt% carbon black and 10 wt% NMP-binder mixture ("80:10:10 mixture"); (iii) Transfer the 80:10:10 mixture to a ball mill and grind the mixture at 800 rpm for 30 min with 10 zirconia balls with a diameter of 5 mm to form a slurry, where the zirconia balls are used as a medium for more efficient mixing; (iv) Prepare the current collector by spreading aluminum foil on a glass plate and spraying acetone to ensure that there are no air bubbles betw...

Embodiment 2

[0151] This example shows another electrode fabricated as follows:

[0152] Steps 1 and 2 are similar to Example 1.

[0153] Step 3. Coat the electrolyte layer on the cathode with the electrolyte prepared in step 2, then apply 15 minutes of UV exposure to the cathode. The electrolyte should solidify to form a solid electrolyte. The solvent was evaporated by exposing the cathode to a vacuum oven at 50 °C for 24 hours to form an electrode. In one embodiment, the thickness of the electrolyte may be 20 microns.

Embodiment 3

[0155] This example shows yet another electrode fabricated as follows:

[0156] Steps 1 and 2 are similar to Example 1.

[0157] Step 3. Soak the cathode prepared in step 1 into the electrolyte at 65° C. for 10 hours. The electrode material should be surrounded by the electrolyte, and the pores between the electrode material particles can be filled by the electrolyte. A 5 minute UV exposure was applied to the cathode. The electrolyte should solidify to form a solid electrolyte. The solvent was evaporated by exposing the cathode to a vacuum oven at 55°C for 48 hours to form an electrode.

Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to various electrodes suitable for electrochemical devices such as batteries, capacitors, sensors, condensers, electrochromic elements, photoelectric conversion elements, etc. Some embodiments are generally directed to electrode materials surrounded by electrolyte, e.g., filling in porous spaces within the electrode. For example, one aspect is generally directed to an electrochemical device comprising an electrode comprising particles. Some or all of the particles may be surrounded by an electrolyte, such as a solid electrolyte. Other aspects of the invention are generally directed to devices including such electrodes, methods of making or using such electrodes, kits including such electrodes, or the like.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Nonprovisional Application Serial No. 16 / 512,502, filed July 16, 2019. The above patent applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety and form part of this specification. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to various electrodes suitable for use in electrochemical devices such as batteries, capacitors, sensors, relays, electrochromic elements, photoelectric conversion elements, and the like. Background technique [0004] As the energy density and scale of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) increase, finding solutions to LIB-specific safety issues becomes more important for LIB development. Safety issues in LIBs may arise due to the use of mixed flammable solvents such as carbonate / ether as a solvent system, which can lead to serious hazards from LIB ignition, combustion, or even explosion, etc. ACCIDENT. [0005] In solid-state li...
