| Abstract Scope |
Rapidly advancing technology demands equally advanced subcomponents. Multi-material additive manufacturing (AM) has the potential to transform the production of lithium-ion batteries by enhancing the battery structural design to enable three-dimensional ion diffusion, as opposed to the one-dimensional diffusion observed in commercial lithium-ion batteries. In turn, 3D diffusion allows to maximize the battery power performances. This work focuses on the development and 3D printing of a novel photosensitive material loaded with lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) electroactive active material to act as the positive electrode. Using the Vat Photopolymerization (VPP) printing technique, the material was successfully printed at varying battery material loadings. After thermal post-processing that did not compromise mechanical integrity, promising electrochemical specific capacity values were obtained, approaching commercial values of lithium-ion batteries. These results pave the way towards newly designed 3D printed batteries promising better performance and non-obtrusive, conforming shapes to specific designs for different applications. |
