Popis: One interesting way of enhancing the properties of lithium-ion batteries is to produce electrodes with a 3D design. The aim of the 3D design is to allow the electrolyte to penetrate through the electrode volume, increasing the surface-to-volume ratio and reducing ion diffusion paths. To achieve these designs, additive shaping processes are promising. In this article, we analyze the possibility of printing 3D structured electrodes using inkjet printing. The study focuses on Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NMC) based electrodes, commonly used as cathode materials. The importance of initial powder size and formulation will be discussed in terms of printability. Finally, we show that it is possible to print 3D structures using NMC inks. Improvements need to be made to ensure greater printing stability.
