  • Publication number: 20240274780
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a dry electrode film for an electrochemical device. The dry electrode film has a uniform and regular edge, and therefore can be controlled regularly to have a predetermined width. In addition, when using a roll-to-roll continuous manufacturing process, it is possible to control the width of the dry electrode film uniformly during the manufacture. Further, since it is easy to control the width of the dry electrode film, it is possible to minimize a difference in dry electrode film width between one manufacture batch and another manufacture batch, even when the dry electrode film is manufactured through different manufacture batches. Additionally, since the dry electrode film has a uniform and regular edge boundary, it is significantly less likely that the dry electrode film is damaged due to cracking or the like, and the dry electrode film can be handled with ease.

  • Publication number: 20230099713
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a dry electrode. In the method, a conductive primer layer and an insulating protective layer are formed in a single step, or the insulating protective layer is formed first before an electrode active material layer is formed and after the conductive primer layer is formed. In this manner, there is no gap between the insulating protective layer and the conductive primer layer, thereby providing further improved insulation property. In addition, since the dry electrode is manufactured by laminating the current collector having the conductive primer layer and the insulating protective layer with the dry electrode film, an electrode having excellent adhesion and improved stability can be obtained advantageously.
