Abstract
A battery having at least one anode, at least one cathode, and at least one electrolyte disposed between the anode and the cathode is presented. Each anode comprises an anode current collector, a first soluble, amorphous, thermoplastic polyimide; an electronic conductive filler; and an intercalation material. Each cathode comprises a cathode current collector; a second soluble, amorphous, thermoplastic polyimide; an electronic conductive filler; and a metal oxide. Lastly, each electrolyte comprises a third soluble, amorphous, thermoplastic polyimide and a lithium salt. The process for preparing the battery comprises the steps of preparing an anode slurry, a cathode slurry, and an electrolyte solution. Casting a film of the electrolyte solution to form an electrolyte layer. Coating the anode slurry and the cathode slurry on each respective current collector to form an anode and a cathode. Drying the electrolyte layer, the anode and the cathode and assembling the electrolyte layer, anode and cathode to form a battery.
