| Abstract Scope |
High-energy and high-power density Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are critical to advancing electric vehicles (EVs) and compact portable electronics. Conventional LIBs are composed of flat electrode cell stacks that can be optimized for energy or power, but not both simultaneously. This is due to ion transport limitations in thick electrodes. Structured Electrodes (SEs) have been proposed as an alternate solution to address these challenges. SEs engineer electrode materials into three-dimensional (3D) architectures with controlled porosity on a scale ranging from tens to hundreds of microns to facilitate rapid transport in thicker electrodes. While a promising concept, scalable manufacturing and processing methods for fabricating SEs over large and complex areas remains limited. This talk covers new additive manufacturing approaches developed by our research group to solve these challenges based acoustophoresis and multi-axis 3D printing. Notable hardware, software, and material formulations that enable these new additive manufacturing approaches are highlighted. |
