Abstract
In order to reduce the costs as well as increase the production throughput of cellulose-bonded electrodes, the use of cellulose fibers (FB) as binder for both anode and cathode was investigated. Electrodes were prepared by means of a water-based filtration process as in common papermaking methods. Prior to electrode preparation, cellulose fibers were mechanically treated (beaten), following the procedure detailed in Sect. 4.3, in order to produce external fiber fibrillation and the typical enhancement of fibers bonding characteristics [1]. The proposed production process is eco-friendly, low cost and easily up-scalable, capitalizing the well-established papermaking techniques and the obtained paper-electrodes are flexible and self-standing.
