Claim Text:
1. A method for the manufacturing of an electrode for a lithium battery cell, wherein the method comprises the steps of: (a) mixing an active material with a binder to obtain a mixture, wherein the active material is selected from a group consisting of LiCoO (b) adding an organic carbonate to the mixture to generate a slurry, wherein step b) is carried out at a temperature above the melting temperature of the organic carbonate and wherein the slurry does not contain a solvent other than the organic carbonate; (c) coating an electrode material with the slurry; (d) drying the coating on the electrode material by drying the organic carbonate; and (e) treating the surface of the slurry so that the electrode is prepared for use in a lithium battery cell; wherein step (d) comprises a parallel recycling step wherein the organic carbonate is collected for re-use.
