First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process for manufacturing a cathode for use in a lithium ion battery, comprising:
- supplying dry carbon particles and dry metal oxide particles;
supplying a dry binder consisting essentially of fibrillizable binder particles;
dry milling the dry carbon particles, dry metal oxide particles and dry binder in the absence of solvent and additional binders to form a powdered dry cathode mixture including fibrillized binder;
feeding the powdered dry cathode mixture including the fibrillized binder to a compactor to form a self-supporting dry film; and
applying the dry film to an electrically conductive substrate to form the cathode.
