Method for solvent-free production of an electrode and provided electrode

A method for the solvent-free production of an electrode, said method comprising the following steps:

• a) providing a dry powder mixture for the production of an electrode, said dry powder mixture comprising:
• at least one active material for an electrode,
• at least one electrically conductive additive, and
• at least one binder;
• and
• b) exerting a mechanical force on the dry powder mixture and forming a dry film from the dry powder mixture;
• wherein the at least one binder comprises a polyamide which is suitable for forming fibrils under the action of a mechanical force.

An electrode comprising:

• a) a dry film which comprises at least one active material for an electrode, at least one electrically conductive additive, and at least one binder;
• and
• b) optionally, a flat electrical conductor on which the dry film is arranged;
• wherein the at least one binder comprises a polyamide which is present in the dry film at least in part in the form of fibrils.
