METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING HYBRID BINDER-FREE ELECTRODES FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL ENERGY STORAGE DEVICES

The invention concerns a method for manufacturing a hybrid binder-free electrode for electrochemical energy storage devices, said hybrid binder-free electrode comprising, preferably consisting of, a conductive metal substrate and carbon nanotubes attached to the conductive metal substrate, wherein each carbon nanotube has only one single-crystal metal nanoparticle positioned at its tip with a metal sulphide top layer. The invention further relates to said hybrid binder-free electrodes and their use as or in a negative electrode for lithium-ion batteries or as or in an electrode for a supercapacitor.
