CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] The present application claims priority from U.S. provisional application No. 60 / 535,828 filed on Jan. 13, 2004.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates generally to polymer batteries and, more specifically, to a method and an apparatus for making positive electrode films for polymer batteries. BACKGROUND
[0003] Rechargeable batteries manufactured from laminates of polymer electrolytes and sheet-like electrodes display many advantages over conventional liquid electrolyte batteries. These advantages include lower overall battery weight, high power density, high specific energy, and longer service life. In addition, they are more environmentally friendly since the danger of spilling toxic liquid into the environment is eliminated.
[0004] Polymer battery components generally include positive electrodes (also referred to as cathodes), negative electrodes (also referred to as anodes), and an insulating material capable of p...
