Slurry process optimization through rheological investigation for electrochemical capacitors
This publication presents a rheological study on slurry process optimization for electrochemical capacitors, exploring how aqueous-processed slurries and controlled mixing affect electrode quality and performance. The research shows that monitoring the rheological evolution during slurry preparation — a key stage in electrode manufacturing — can significantly reduce energy consumption and processing time. Optimising the slurry mixing protocol resulted in a ~35 % reduction in processing time, while producing electrodes with improved mechanical strength and electrochemical rate capability comparable to standard methods. The approach highlights a cost-effective pathway to more efficient and sustainable electrode production for electrochemical energy storage technologies.
