Actual parallel-plate architecture of lithium-ion batteries consists of lithium-ion diffusion in one dimension between the electrodes. To achieve higher performances in terms of specific capacity and power, configurations enabling lithium-ion diffusion in two or three dimensions is considered. With a view to build these complex three-dimensional (3D) battery architectures avoiding the electrodes interpenetration issues, this work is focused on fused deposition modeling (FDM). In this study, the formulation and characterization of a 3D-printable graphite/polylactic acid (PLA) filament, specially designed to be used as negative electrode in a lithium-ion battery and to feed a conventional commercially available FDM 3D printer, is reported. The graphite active material loading in the produced filament is increased as high as possible to enhance the electrochemical performance, while the addition of various amounts of plasticizers such as propylene carbonate, poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether average Mn ∼ ...
