| Abstract Scope |
This study explores enhancing cobalt-free lithium-ion batteries using aerosol jet deposition for micro architected electrode structures. Aerosol Jet printing allows precise control over electrode designs, such as intricate lattice structures of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP). These structures maximize surface area, improve ion diffusion kinetics, and enhance battery efficiency. The research demonstrates the feasibility of printing ultra-thick (up to 500 microns) electrodes that maintain electrolyte penetration, thereby increasing power and energy density. Advanced techniques like Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) assess electrode integrity and performance metrics such as specific capacity, cycling stability, and rate capability. This approach aims to advance sustainable, cobalt-free energy storage technologies by optimizing electrode architectures. The findings contribute to developing next-generation batteries suitable for modern applications, emphasizing superior performance and sustainability in energy storage solutions. |
