Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed toward multilayer electrode architectures, methods of manufacture thereof, and batteries made therefrom. In some embodiments, the multilayer electrode architecture may be formed by alternating deposition of different electrode slurries which comprise compositionally distinct binders. Generally, benefits obtained by the presently described multilayer electrodes are increased loading of electrode active material while maintaining good cycle performance and durability.

Abstract: In general, the present disclosure is directed to methods for producing an electrode having a crosslinked binder. In some embodiments the binder may comprise polyvinylidene fluoride. Said crosslinking may allow for higher loading capacities, increased ionic conductivity and/or durability. Further, electrodes and batteries comprising said electrodes which have crosslinked binders are described herein.
