<p>A method for removing plasticizers such as dibutyl phthalate from an electrode / current collector assembly or from the anode, cathode, and separator components of an electrochemical cell precursor using an extraction solvent that includes an aliphatic alcohol selected from the group consisting of ethanol, butanol, pentanol and propanol and mixtures thereof. Most preferably the extraction solvent is isopropanol. Ultrasound waves can also be employed to significantly reduce the extraction time.</p> |
