I’m excited to share insights from the article "Development of a Feasible and Scalable Manufacturing Method for PTFE-based Solvent-Free Lithium-Ion Battery Electrodes" by Hyeseong Oh et al. (Chemical Engineering Journal, 2024). This study presents a solvent-free dry electrode process using PTFE as a binder for high-loading cathodes — a cleaner, more energy-efficient approach to battery manufacturing. The method involves: granule formation → film formation → pressing → lamination. Key results: Optimized formulation (96% active material, 2% PTFE, 1.8% carbon black, 0.2% carbon nanotubes) delivers low tortuosity (easier ion pathways) and retains 80% discharge capacity at 0.5 C for thick electrodes (10 mAh/cm², 3.8 g/cc). PTFE type and content strongly influence microstructure, conductivity, and mechanical strength. Entirely solvent-free, reducing energy use, environmental impact, and enabling scalability. This could be a game-changer for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. What’s your take on solvent-free methods? https://lnkd.in/drKE6dac #BatteryTech #LithiumIon #SustainableEnergy

✨ Excited to share our latest article, “Bionanocomposite coatings incorporating carbon-sepiolite within biopolymer matrices for corrosion protection of aluminium alloys: An electrochemical study.” In this work, we developed novel chitosan and zein films reinforced with carbon-sepiolite and assessed their performance using impedance spectroscopy. We found that adding sol-gel top layers enhances both passive and active corrosion protection, with zein-based films plus sealing sol-gel showing the highest impedance and stability. These findings point toward sustainable, high-performance coatings with strong potential for applications in the automotive and aerospace industries. Huge thanks to the co-authors @Federico García-Galván, Cláudia Nunes, Paula Ferreira, Juan Carlos Galván Sierra and Eduardo Ruiz for their contributions to this work 🙏. #CorrosionScience #Nanomaterials #Sustainability #Electrochemistry #MaterialsScience
