Abstract Scope |
As the demand for rechargeable batteries increases, the concept of utilizing 3D printing technologies to produce tailored battery components with complex geometries that can be customized for a specific application has gained relevance. This work focuses on 3D printing via vat polymerization of separator and gasket components using commercially available and laboratory-made photocurable resins as material feedstock. In-depth electrochemical, rheological, and mechanical characterization steps are performed. In particular, the 3D printed samples are tested by means of linear sweep voltammetry, a common stability analysis, to ensure their electrochemical inertness during the charge and discharge of a classical lithium-ion battery. This work paves the way towards the development of shape-conformable battery individual components and fully 3D printed energy storage devices. |
