Hydrogel-based Additive Manufacturing of Lithium Cobalt Oxide.

ABSTRACT: Three-dimensional (3D) multicomponent metal oxides with complex architectures could enable previously impossible energy storage devices, particularly lithium-ion battery (LIB) electrodes with fully controllable form factors. Existing additive manufacturing approaches for fabricating 3D multicomponent metal oxides rely on particle-based or organic-inorganic binders, which are limited in their resolution and chemical composition, respectively. In this work, aqueous metal salt solutions are used as metal precursors to circumvent these limitations, and provide a platform for 3D printing multicomponent metal oxides. As a proof-of-concept, architected lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) structures are fabricated by first synthesizing a homogenous lithium and cobalt nitrate aqueous photoresin, and then us
