Abstract
A method of making an electrode for an electrochemical cell includes the step of providing an electrode composite comprising from 70-98% active material, from 0-10% conductive material additives, and from 2-20% polymer binder, based on the total weight of the electrode composite. The electrode composite is mixed and then compressed the electrode composite into an electrode composite sheet. The electrode composite sheet is applied to a current collector with pressure to form an electrode, wherein the electrode possesses positive characteristics for adhesion according to ASTM standard test D3359-09e2, entitled Standard Test Methods for Measuring Adhesion by Tape Test, and wherein the electrode composite sheet and the electrode possess positive characteristics for flexibility according to the Mandrel Test. The binder can be a single nonfluoropolymer binder. Dry process electrodes are also disclosed.
