Abstract:
A method of fabricating an electrode that comprises the steps of:(a) providing an aqueous composition comprising a polymerizable material that is selected from the group consisting of a polyester represented by formula I, a terpolymer represented by formula II, a melamine-formaldehyde represented by formula III, and mixtures thereof, where R and Râ€² are independently selected from (CH2)n where n is an integer from about 2 to about 10 and a substituted or unsubstituted benzyl, m is an integer that ranges from about 100 to about 10,000, x ranges from about 0.3 to about 0.7, y ranges from about 0.3 to about 0.7, z ranges from about 0.02 to about 0.10, and x+y+z=1; (b) mixing an electrode active material into said aqueous composition to form a mixture; and (c) causing said polymerizable material to polymerize and removing water from said mixture to form an electrode.
