| 摘要 |
Embodiments described herein relate generally to electrochemical cells having porous semi-solid electrodes and in particular, semi-solid electrodes that include electrolyte filled meso-pores such that the semi-solid electrodes have higher electronic conductivity. In some embodiments, a method of preparing a porous semi-solid electrode includes combining an active material with an electrolyte to form an intermediate material, the electrolyte including a liquid component and a pore former. A conductive material is combined with the intermediate material to form a semi-solid electrode material. The pore former is then caused to liquefy to form a porous semi-solid electrode. In some embodiments, the pore former is maintained at a temperature below a dissolution temperature and/or a melting temperature of the pore former prior to causing the pore former to liquefy. In some embodiments, the pore former can be ethylene carbonate ("EC"). |
