Abstract:
A particulate electrode for a rechargeable lithium battery, said rechargeable lithium battery including at least two electrodes of opposite polarity, at least two current collectors and an inert, porous polymer separator, comprising,a particulate mixture of electro-active particles intermixed with pliable, solid, ion conducting, polymer filaments having adhesive surfaces and containing a first dissociable lithium compound, wherein said pliable, solid, ion conducting, polymer filaments having adhesive surfaces are adhesively interlinked, and said electro-active particles are adhering to said surface of said pliable, solid, ion conducting, polymer filaments, thereby forming a matted layer held adhesively together, said matted layer having voids which are capable of being impregnated by means of filling said voids with a non-aqueous solution containing a second dissociable lithium compound, and said matted layer being located between said current collector and said inert, porous polymer separator of said rechargeable lithium battery.
