Processing additives are key to elevate the performance of aqueously processed electrodes beyond the state of the art. A mostly neglected factor during aqueous processing is electrostatic repulsion of active/inactive materials due to their ζ potentials, which can be compensated for by applying optimized amounts of surfactants like hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide. The notably improved distribution and interconnection of active/inactive materials lead to superior rate capability and similar capacity retention during long-term cycling compared to state-of-the-art processing.
