Article Abstract
In this study, a selenium-doped sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (Se-SPAN) cathode fabricated by a dry process with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) binder is proposed to address issues in currently developed dry-processed cathodes. The dry-processed Se-SPAN (D/Se-SPAN) is characterized by a dense, robust, and uniform structure that successfully resists the internal stress evolution caused by significant volume variations of the Se-SPAN under high-loading conditions. Understanding these architectural advantages in D/Se-SPAN, the unrivaled potential of D/Se-SPAN compared with traditional slurry-processed Se-SPAN cathodes (S/Se-SPAN) is established through a series of in-depth electrochemical-mechanical investigations. As a result, the D/Se-SPAN recorded ≈31.8 mAh cm of reversible areal capacities under ultra-high-loading conditions (64.2 mg cm) and exhibited remarkable cycle stability. Based on this study, vital design guidelines are provided for developing high-loading S-based dry cathodes crucial for realizing cost-effective and eco-friendly battery production.

The process of solvent-free binder fibrillation is a promising technology in the field of increasing electrode density and green economy. However, the electron conduction and homogeneity of thick electrodes are limited, resulting in poor battery performance and mechanical properties. Herein, we compare the effect of three different forms of conductive materials on the cathode, and design a "point-line" combined conductive carbon-binder network with polytetrafluoroethylene fiber embedded in carbon nanotubes and super P by air mill.

The current lithium-ion battery (LIB) electrode fabrication process relies heavily on the wet coating process, which uses the environmentally harmful and toxic N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent. In addition to being unsustainable, the use of this expensive organic solvent substantially increases the cost of battery production, as it needs to be dried and recycled throughout the manufacturing process. Herein, we report an industrially viable and sustainable dry press-coating process that uses the combination of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a dry powder composite and etched Al foil as a current collector.

The increase in demand for energy storage devices, including portable electronic devices, electronic mobile devices, and energy storage systems, has led to substantial growth in the market for Li-ion batteries (LiB). However, the resulting environmental concerns from the waste of LiB and pollutants from the manufacturing process have attracted considerable attention. In particular, N-methylpyrrolidone, which is utilized during the manufacturing process for preparing cathode or anode slurries, is a toxic organic pollutant.

The rapid development of electric vehicles has generated a recent demand for high energy density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). One simple, effective way to enhance energy density of LIBs is to increase the thickness of electrodes. However, the conventional wet process used to fabricate thick electrodes involves the evaporation of large amounts of organic solvents, which causes an inhomogeneous distribution of conductive additives and binders.
