| Abstract Scope |
Rechargeable batteries have become one of the most attractive power sources for various applications related to consumer electronics. In this present work, electrophoretic deposition (EPD) has been demonstrated as a promising alternative fabrication method to conventional tape casting process to yield rechargeable cell electrodes with superior electrochemical characteristics. Different anode materials (conversion, intercalation and alloy type) such as zinc ferrite, nickel ferrite, graphite, SnSb etc. have successfully been deposited by EPD on copper foil. Surface and cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy reveal homogeneous distribution of carbon-black particles in active matrices and uniformity in thickness of the deposited electrodes respectively. As compared to tape cast electrodes, such EPD grown electrodes exhibit superior electrochemical performance which might be due to the homogeneous distribution of conductive carbon in active matrixes together with better adhesion between the electrode and underlying current collector. |
