Abstract:
A lithium (Li) ion battery includes a first electrode with a second electrode, and a shutdown polymer additive on an outer surface of the first electrode. The shutdown polymer additive includes at least two polyethylene layers, each polyethylene layer comprising a plurality of polyethylene microspheres. Each polyethylene microsphere is wrapped with carbon nanotubes. The polyethylene microspheres interconnect with each other such that the carbon nanotubes form a conductive network. The polyethylene layers are provided at predetermined areas of the outer surface of the first electrode.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for producing a lithium ion battery, the method comprising:\n providing a first electrode and a second electrode; providing a shutdown polymer additive; loading the shutdown polymer additive into a syringe; moving the syringe with a programmable robotic arm; and depositing a predetermined amount of the shutdown polymer additive on at least two predetermined positions of an active outer surface of the first electrode of the Li ion battery, wherein the predetermined positions are selected such that, in a shutdown mode, the shutdown polymer additive forms essentially one insulating film for preventing the Li ions from moving between the first electrode and the second electrode.
