Title: Freeze Tape Casting Electrode with Bilayered Architecture for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

Journal Article · · ACS Applied Energy Materials

A facile freeze tape casting (FTC) strategy is utilized to prepare bilayered 4 mAh cm–2 high-loading LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 cathodes. The bottom layer is a conventional nonaqueous electrode, which has a dense structure for high-energy purposes. Further, the top layer is prepared by the proposed FTC, exhibiting a porous feature for high-power requirement. With the assistance of FTC, the bilayered electrodes successfully deliver enhanced rate and cyclic performance due to the improved lithium-ion diffusion kinetics and pathways. Therefore, the proposed FTC strategy and its delivered electrodes are promising for energy- and power-density lithium-ion batteries, potentially enlightening the research and development of lithium-ion battery manufacturing.
