Method of making Li-intercalateable electrodes for a lithium-ion battery by applying a first film onto a first face of an electrically conductive grid, which film comprises a plurality of Li-intercalateable particles dispersed throughout a mixture of a polymeric binder and a plasticizer for the binder. Thereafter, a film-forming slurry having the same composition as the first film, plus a solvent therefor, is applied to a second face of the grid opposing the first face so as to provide a second film and such that the solvent in the slurry dissolves at least a portion of the first film and promotes solvent bonding of the films with the grid embedded therein. A polymeric backing film defining a separator is used as a manufacturing process aid, thereby eliminating the step of using a carrier film onto which the electrodes are fabricated and stripping off the carrier and discarding the same.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Manufacturing complexity, cost, and scrap rate can be reduced, production rates increased, and better contact between the grid and the electrode material achieved by a process according to the present invention.
The invention involves using a separator as a backing film in the coating process.
Since the separator is used in cells and batteries, it can be retained, unlike the carrier disclosed in copending application Ser.
No.
09/862,388, which is removed and discarded.
This improvement allows attachment of the separator at an earlier stage in the overall process, and further, eliminates steps.
In a preferred embodiment, the separator is a polymeric backing film.
The separator performs its conventional function as well as a new function, namely, that of a carrier or backing film.
