Abstract
Materials and methods for preparing dry cathode electrode film including reduced binder content are described. The cathode electrode film may be a self-supporting film including a single binder. The binder loading may be 3 weight % or less. In a first aspect, a method for preparing a dry free standing electrode film for an energy storage device is provided, comprising nondestructively mixing a cathode active material, a porous carbon, and optionally a conductive carbon to form an active material mixture, adding a single fibrillizable binder to the active material mixture, nondestructively mixing to form an electrode film mixture, and calendering the electrode film mixture to form a free standing electrode film.
