CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION OF BINDER AND COLLECTOR-LESS SELF-STANDING ELECTRODES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES BY USING CARBON NANOTUBES AS AN ADDITIVE

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed to a method and apparatus for continuous production of composites of carbon nanotubes and electrode active material from decoupled sources. Composites thusly produced may be used as self-standing electrodes without binder or collector. Moreover, the method of the present disclosure may allow more cost-efficient production while simultaneously affording control over nanotube loading and composite thickness.
