Manufacturing The production of electrodes for Li-ion batteries is done in various steps as follows: The various constituents of the electrode are mixed into a solvent. This mixture is designed such that it improves the performance of the electrodes. Common components of this mixture are: The active electrode particles. A binder used to contain the active electrode particles. A conductive agent used to improve the conductivity of the electrode. The mixture created is known as an ‘electrode slurry’. The electrode slurry above is coated onto a conductor which acts as the current collector in the electrochemical cell. Typical current collectors are copper for the cathode and aluminum for the anode. After the slurry has been applied to the conductor it is dried and then pressed to the required thickness.
