Composite Anode and Lithium-Ion Battery Comprising Same and Method for Producing the Composite Anode

A lithium ion battery comprising:

• electrodes,
• a separator, and
• an electrolyte,
• wherein one of the electrodes is a composite anode comprising a collector, an active anode material, a binder, an inorganic solid lithium ion conductor, and a liquid electrolyte.

A method for producing a composite anode having a collector, an active anode material, a binder, an inorganic solid lithium ion conductor, and a liquid electrolyte, the method comprising the steps of:

• combining at least the active anode material, the binder in solution with a solvent, and solid inorganic lithium ion conductor to form a homogeneous slurry;
• applying the slurry to a collector;
• stripping off the solvent under reduced pressure and/or elevated temperature, forming a porosity in the slurry;
• adjusting the porosity by calendaring;
• and
• filling up the porosity with the liquid electrolyte.
