SMALL PARTICLE ELECTRODES BY AEROSOL PROCESS

摘要

A method for preparing an electrode is provided including generating aerosol droplets of a precursor capable of being converted into a component of an electrode in a carrier liquid; converting the droplets into precursor particles; converting the precursor particles into particles of the electrode component; and depositing the electrode component onto an electrically conductive substrate. The electrode is characterized by a highly porous structure having a surface area in the range of 4m2/g and a discharge density at least 1.5 times greater than comparable electrodes prepared by conventional methods.
