Popis: The cathode and anode electrodes in lithium-ion batteries typically contain a significant proportion of particles and binders. During the electrode drying process, the high temperature will lead to the so-called "binder migration" phenomenon. Uneven particle/binder distribution can cause poor adhesion between coating and substrate, disruption of conductive paths and decrease in electrode performance. In this study, a two-layered cathode was designed using separate compositions of slurry ingredients in each layer, as produced by means of a simultaneous multilayer coating method. The two-layered cathode with the top layer containing less binder than the bottom layer was found to yield a better particle/binder distribution in the final structure under high temperature drying. The battery made with the two-layered cathode appeared to give a better overall performance.
