Abstract
A method for adhesion of wound electrodes or electrode lamination for use in a lithium-ion secondary battery, comprising acts of dissolving a polymer applied on electrode sheets in a selected solvent; applying the solvent containing polymer on surfaces of the electrode sheets; and vaporizing the solvent by heating to laminate electrode sheets together is disclosed.
Claims6
A method for adhesion of wound electrodes or electrode lamination for use in a lithium-ion secondary battery, the method comprising the:
- (a) coating a polymer solution selected from the group of polymers consisting of:
- (i) a Z-type polycarbonate in a solvent selected from the group of dichloromethane, ethyl carbonate, propyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate and mixtures thereof;
- (ii) vinylidene bifluoride/hexafluoroproylene copolymer in an admixture of acetone and tetrahydrofuran;
- (iii) diphenol A-diphenol carbonate copolymer in tetrahydrofuran;
- and
- (iv) polyamide in methanol on surfaces of positive and negative electrode sheets forming adhesive surfaces on the sheets;
- (b) forming a laminated electrode by sandwiching an isolation layer between the coated surfaces of the electrode sheets;
- and
- (c) vaporizing the solvent to separate the polymer to cohere the electrode sheets with the isolation layer whereby the electrode sheets are firmly and evenly laminated on the isolation layer.
