| Abstract Scope |
Lithium-ion batteries are one of the most desirable energy storage systems which consist of two electrodes and an electrolyte. These batteries are currently restricted to consumer electronics attributed to the low performance of the cathode and/or anode electrode; and the limitations of the electrode’s manufacturing process. Li-ion battery electrodes are widely manufactured using the slurry casting technique. However, the organic solvent used in slurry casting increases the manufacturing costs while electrodes fabricated can only be used for portable electronics and not for large hybrid automobiles. Additive manufacturing is a solvent-free technique which prints large complex geometries, therefore, producing porous electrodes through interdigitated geometries and more recently through three-dimensional micro lattice structures. This manufacturing process can fabricate Ni-Co based high entropy oxide electrodes which are deposited directly with uniform distribution of particles. Electrodes fabricated with 3D micro lattice structures are optimal, having controlled porosity which improves the overall Li-ion battery capacity. |
