A pouch full cell consisting of [LiCoO2:Super-P® (conductive carbon black obtainable from MMM Carbon, Belgium):PVdF (Solef® 5130 from Solvay Specialty Polymers) binder=92:4:4 (wt. %)] as positive electrode and [SCMG-AR® (artificial graphite obtainable from Showa Denko):Super-P® (conductive carbon black obtainable from MMM Carbon, Belgium):PVdF (Solef® 5130 from Solvay Specialty Polymers) binder=90:4:6 (wt. %)] as negative electrode was prepared. Polyethylene was used as separator. The preparation of the pouch cells consisted of the following steps in that order: (1) mixing, (2) coating & Drying (3) pressing, (4) slitting, (5) Tap welding, (6) Assembly, (7) Pouch 2-side sealing, (8) Electrolyte filling, and (9) Vacuum sealing. The design capacity of cells is about 50 mAh (Size 5 cm×5 cm).

Poly(ethylene oxide) (Mw = 6 × 105, Alfa Aesar), lithium perchlorate (LiClO4, Aladdin, battery grade), poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF, Solef® 5130, Solvay), and LiFePO4 (DY-3, Shenzhen Dynanonic Co., Ltd) were commercially obtained and were dried before usage. Acetonitrile (ACN, Aladdin, AR), N-methly-2-pyrrolidone (NMP, AR), and urea (Aladdin, AR) were used as obtained. The Li metal used in our experiments was commercially obtained with a diameter of 15.8 and 0.6 mm of thickness.

Fabrication of Li-ion Battery Electrodes

As controls,
graphite, Fe2O3, and LFP and LNMO
electrodes were produced via slurry casting. Graphite powder was weighed
out along with conductive carbon black (CB, Imerys C65) and binder
additives like styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR, Zeon) and sodium
carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC, Ashland) at a ratio of 91:5:2:2 graphite/CB/SBR/CMC.
The mixture was dispersed in deionized water at a solid content of
35% using a high viscosity centrifugal mixer (Thinky ARE-310) to form
a slurry. The Fe2O3, LFP, and LNMO slurries
were produced using formulations of 90:5:5 of active material/PVDF/CB,
dispersed in N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) at a solid
content of 43%. The PVDF utilized was Solef 5130 (Solvay). Anode slurries
(graphite or Fe2O3) were cast onto 9 μm
Cu foils (MTI) while cathode slurries were cast onto 15 μm Al
foils (MTI). Anode thicknesses were controlled to provide loadings
similar to the CMF, while cathode thicknesses were chosen to achieve
a full cell N/P ratio of approximately 1:1. Electrodes produced with
the water-based slurry were dried overnight at 60 °C in air,
while those produced with the NMP-based slurries were placed in a
vacuum oven at 120 °C overnight. The dried electrodes were subjected
to a calendaring step to increase the active layer’s adhesion
and density.

PVDF Hollow and PCM Composite Fibers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In this work, two kinds
of PVDF fibers were produced: pure PVDF hollow fibers, hereinafter
referred to as PVDFHollow, and composite fibers, named
PVDFPCM. Paraffin RT-28HC with a melting point between
27 and 29 °C and latent heat of 250 J/g was supplied by Rubitherm30 and used as a core material of the PVDFPCM fibers. Commercial PVDF Solef 5130 from SOLVAY was dissolved
in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) (99.5%
Pure) from EMPARTA. This solution was used as a precursor for fiber
production, and tap water was utilized for the DMF extraction process.

Preparation of EM600/EM900 Electrode Slurry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
EM600 or EM900 was mixed with a binder and carbon black in the mass ratio of 85 : 10 : 5. The binder in lithium-ion batteries was PVDF (Solef® 5130, Solvay), and carbon black Super C65 (Timcal) was used as a conductive agent. A small amount of NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, Sigma-Aldrich) was added to adjust the viscosity of the electrode material in order to create a slurry that was coated on top of a copper foil (thickness 25 μm, battery-grade, Schlenk) using a doctor blade. The coated sheets were dried in air at 55 °C. Afterwards, the electrodes were cut into discs ( 12 mm) and dried overnight at 120 °C in a vacuum to remove moisture. The EM600/Li and EM900/Li half-cells were filled with commercially accepted electrolyte, 1 M LiPF6 in EC : DMC 1 : 1 by volume (Sigma-Aldrich). Lithium metal (Sigma-Aldrich) was used as a counter and reference electrode.
All measurements of Li-ion half-cells were performed in a 3-electrode configuration in Swagelok-type T-cells to assess the performance of the newly obtained electrode material. The cells were assembled in a glove box (Jacomex, France) under an argon atmosphere.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
