Abstract: Provided are methods of producing materials suitable for use as a component of an electrochemical cell such as electrode active layers or solid state electrolyte and/or separator materials. Processes include combining an active with a fibrillizable binder and intermixing in a screw fibrillator to produce a fibrillized material with greatly increased physical and optionally electrochemically characteristics relative to those materials produced by other processes such as simple slurry casting or intermixing in a jet mill.
