Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the economic manufacture of lithium batteries by means of dynamic compaction. To this end cathode, electrolyte and/or anode material is taken up in a carrier. The carrier, according to a preferred embodiment, is a plastic. This facilitates the handling of the material, while in addition thin layers can be made. According to a preferred embodiment the plastic material is a lithium ion-conductive plastic.
Claims11
A method for the manufacture of a lithium battery, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) introducing a powder into a carrier to form a material comprising the carrier and the powder;
- b) contacting the material with at least one additional material to form an assembly of materials, the assembly of materials comprising cathode material, electrolyte material and anode material, wherein the electrolyte material comprises a lithium ion-conductive and non-electron-conductive material for separating the cathode material from the anode material, and wherein at least the cathode material comprises a ceramic and wherein lithium is contained within at least one member selected from the group consisting of the cathode material and the anode material;
- and
- c) performing dynamic compaction of the assembly of materials.
