Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a precursor material ( 10 ) for an electrochemical cell. The method comprises the steps of adding a matrix material ( 18 ) to a fluidized bed ( 40 ), and adding a carrier medium ( 48 ) and a de-agglomerated carbon nanotube material ( 22 ) to the fluidized bed ( 40 ), so that the carbon nanotube material ( 22 ) and the carrier medium ( 48 ) is applied to the matrix material ( 18 ) and the latter is granulated therewith, wherein the carbon nanotube material ( 22 ) has been suspended and de-agglomerated prior to addition to the carrier medium ( 48 ), and/or the carbon nanotube material ( 22 ) present in de-agglomerated form in the fluidized bed ( 40 ) dissolving with the carrier medium ( 48 ) in the fluidized bed ( 40 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A process for producing a precursor material ( 10 ) for an electrochemical cell, wherein the process comprises the steps: introduction of a matrix material ( 18 ) into a fluidized bed ( 40 ), and introduction of a carrier medium ( 48 ) and a deagglomerated carbon nanotube material ( 22 ) into the fluidized bed ( 40 ) so that the carbon nanotube material ( 22 ) is applied together with the carrier medium ( 48 ) to the matrix material ( 18 ) and the latter is granulated therewith, where the carbon nanotube material ( 22 ) has been suspended and deagglomerated in the carrier medium ( 48 ) before introduction and/or the carbon nanotube material ( 22 ) present in deagglomerated form in the fluidized bed ( 40 ) dissolves with the carrier medium ( 48 ) in the fluidized bed ( 40 ). 2. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein active material particles or solid particles are used as matrix material ( 18 ). 3. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one polymer and/or a binder is dissolved in the carrier medium ( 48 ) before introduction. 4. The process as claimed in claim 3 , wherein an electrolyte salt is dissolved together with the at least one polymer in the carrier medium ( 48 ) before introduction. 5. The process as claimed in claim 3 , wherein an electrolyte salt is added during or after granulation. 6. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a surface ( 30 ) of the carbon nanotube material ( 22 ) and of the matrix material ( 18 ) is modified before introduction into the fluidized bed ( 40 ). 7. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a further amount of polymer is added after granulation. 8. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the carbon nanotube material ( 22 ) has been suspended and deagglomerated in the carrier medium ( 48 ) before introduction. 9. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the carbon nanotube material ( 22 ) present in deagglomerated form in the fluidized bed ( 40 ) dissolves with the carrier medium ( 48 ) in the fluidized bed ( 40 ). 10. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the carbon nanotube material ( 22 ) has been suspended and deagglomerated in the carrier medium ( 48 ) before introduction and the carbon nanotube material ( 22 ) present in deagglomerated form in the fluidized bed ( 40 ) dissolves with the carrier medium ( 48 ) in the fluidized bed ( 40 ).
