Abstract
Provided herein is a lithium-ion battery cathode slurry, comprising: a cathode active material, a conductive agent, a binder material, and a solvent, wherein the cathode active material has a particle size D50 in the range from about 10 μm to about 50 μm, and wherein the slurry coated onto a current collector having a wet film thickness of about 100 μm has a drying time of about 5 minutes or less under an environment having a temperature of about 60° C. to about 90° C. and a relative humidity of about 25% to about 40%. The cathode slurry disclosed herein has homogeneous ingredient dispersion and quick drying capability for making a lithium-ion battery with high quality and consistent performance. In addition, these properties of the cathode slurry increase productivity and reduce the cost of manufacturing lithium-ion batteries.
