What is claimed is:
1 . A method for producing a homogenous particulate material composition, including at least one particulate material M, at least one additive Z, and at least one binding agent B, the method comprising:
a) providing at least one particulate material M, at least one additive Z, and at least one binding agent B; b) producing a homogenous mixture G1 from the at least one particulate material M and the at least one additive Z in a gravity mixer; c) producing a mixture G2 from the mixture G1 and the at least one binding agent B, with the introduction of shear forces; and d) removing dispersed gases from the mixture G2.
2 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein a gravity mixer is used to obtain the homogenous mixture G1.
3 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the mixture G2 includes a fibrillated binding agent B.
4 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein a jet mill is used to produce the mixture G2 in order to introduce shear forces necessary for the fibrillation of the binding agent B into the mixture.
5 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the dispersed gases is removed from the mixture G2 in step d) under reduced pressure, in particular in a downdraft vaporizer.
6 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the particulate material M is mixed, in method step b), with only a portion of the additive Z, a quantity of the additive Z being selected such that the additive Z occupies at most 50% of the surface of the particulate material M.
7 . The method as recited in claim 6 , wherein a remaining portion of the additive Z first being mixed, in a further method step b′), with at least a portion of the binding agent B in order to form a mixture G3 that subsequently replaces at least a portion of the pure binding agent B in the step c).
8 . An electrode active material produced by:
a) providing at least one particulate material M, at least one additive Z, and at least one binding agent B; b) producing a homogenous mixture G1 from the at least one particulate material M and the at least one additive Z in a gravity mixer; c) producing a mixture G2 from the mixture G1 and the at least one binding agent B, with the introduction of shear forces; and d) removing dispersed gases from the mixture G2.
9 . A free-standing electrode active material foil produced using an electrode active material, the electrode active material produced by:
a) providing at least one particulate material M, at least one additive Z, and at least one binding agent B; b) producing a homogenous mixture G1 from the at least one particulate material M and the at least one additive Z in a gravity mixer; c) producing a mixture G2 from the mixture G1 and the at least one binding agent B, with the introduction of shear forces; and d) removing dispersed gases from the mixture G2.
10 . The free-standing electrode active material foil as recited in claim 9 , wherein the free-standing electrode active material foil is used to produce an electrode for an electrochemical energy storage system, an electrolyzer, or a fuel cell.
