Abstract
A method of producing conductor-speckled active material particles includes agitating conductive particles within an aqueous binder solution that includes a mixture of binder particulates suspended within a water-based medium. An intermediate powder including the conductive particles dispersed amongst the mixture of binder particulates is generated by evaporating water from the aqueous binder solution to generate. Subsequently, the particulate mixture including active material particles and the intermediate powder is agitated to generate a powder mixture of conductor-speckled active material agglomerations. Each of the conductor-speckled active material agglomerations includes a plurality of conductive particles in electrical contact with one or more active material particles. Further, the conductor-speckled active material agglomerations include binder particulates interspersed between one or more active material particles.
