Enhanced performance of organic materials for lithium-ion batteries using facile electrode calendaring techniques

• A simple and convenient strategy for achieving higher capacities in organic electrode materials used in pouch-cell format is presented here. By calendaring of the electrodes, the resulting electrode porosity can be tailored. It is shown for carboxylate electrodes of dilithium benzenediacrylate that a 30% porosity constitutes the best compromise between electronic wiring, particle contact and electrolyte infiltration into the electrodes, displaying higher capacities than in Swagelock cells.
