摘要

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) has evolved into a scalable and adaptable technique for the fabrication of composite electrodes in lithium-ion batteries, building on its industrial roots in automotive and ceramic coating applications. In this study, EPD is used to fabricate LiCoO2 (LCO) cathodes for Lithium-ion Batteries (LIBs) by co-depositing LCO particles with Super P carbon black and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) onto aluminium foil current collectors under high DC electric fields in an organic-based colloidal solution. The cathodes prepared via EPD are compared with their counterparts prepared via the industrially approved slurry-cast process. Structural, morphological, and electrochemical performance of EPD-based and slurry-cast LCO electrodes are compared via SEM, cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD) cycling. In most cases, EPD-based half-cells have delivered similar performances to their slurry-cast counterparts, except for the case of successive cycling that clearly displayed the superiority of EPD for preparing highly durable cathodes for energy storage applications.
