Batteries, Volume 11, Issue 1

2025 January - 38 articles

Cover Story: Overcoming the performance limitations of lithium-ion batteries requires innovative strategies, such as replacing non-conductive electrode components with conductive alternatives. This study pioneers the elimination of non-conductive polymer binders from LiFePO4 cathodes and explores binary mixtures of an organic ionic plastic crystal (OIPC) and lithium salt as both binders and pre-filled electrolytes in the electrode layer. By varying the electrode composition, this polymer-binder-free strategy enables the formulation of two types of LiFePO4 cathodes: thick electrodes with high areal capacity (expected ≤3.74 mAh/cm2) and thin ones with superior rate capability. This work demonstrates the OIPC’s innovative functionalities for battery applications and discusses the potential integration of the cathodes into solid-state batteries. View this paper
