Abstract
A method of making an electrode includes the step of mixing active material particles, radiation curable resin precursors, and electrically conductive particles to create an electrode precursor mixture. The electrode precursor mixture is electrostatically sprayed onto a current collector to provide an electrode preform. The electrode preform is heated and calendered to melt the resin precursor such that the resin precursor surrounds the active particles and electrically conductive particles. Radiation is applied to the electrode preform sufficient to cure the radiation curable resin precursors into resin.
