SOLVENT-FREE ELECTRODE

A lithium-ion battery component and methods for producing the lithium-ion battery component are presented. The lithium-ion battery component includes a current collector and a solvent-free electrode layer laminated onto the current collector. The solvent-free electrode layer has an active material, a conductive additive, a binder, and a fluorinated polyether in a dry mixture. The fluorinated polyether is incorporated to promote interfacial contact and adhesion between the solvent-free electrode layer and the current collector.
