Abstract:
Binder-free LiCoO(2) -SACNT cathodes with excellent flexibility and conductivity are obtained by constructing a continuous three-dimensional super-aligned carbon nanotube (SACNT) framework with embedded LiCoO(2) particles. These binder-free cathodes display much better cycling stability, greater rate performance, and higher energy density than classical cathodes with binder. Various functional binder-free SACNT composites can be mass produced by the ultrasonication and co-deposition method described in this paper.
