Publication number: 20230096349Abstract: A method is provided for fabricating a film layer. A cathode film layer of lithium ion batteries is fabricated through atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) without using polymer adhesive. The ratio of its active substance can even reach 100%. Moreover, the cathode film layer fabricated by APS obtains pores, where, with the coordination of a liquid electrolyte, electrolyte penetration paths are provided to significantly increase the area of reaction. Hence, the effective thickness of the film layer is relatively thick and the capacity of battery is increased. As an example, the thickness of a film layer of lithium cobalt oxide fabricated accordingly reaches more than 100 microns; and its maximum electric capacity per unit area reaches 6 milliampere-hours per square centimeter (mAh/cm2). Thus, the performance of the follow-on solid-state lithium-ion battery is improved and its high-volume manufacturing cost is reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2021Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Chun-Laing Chang, Chun-Huang Tsai, Chang-Shiang Yang, Cheng-Yun Fu, Min-Chuan Wang, Tien-Hsiang Hsueh
