Research Progress of 3D Printing Technology in Electrochemical Energy Storage Batteries
Energy storage is one of the pressing problems that need to be addressed in the rapidly developing society today,with electrochemical energy storage being a critical focus.However,traditional electrochemical energy storage technologies often incur high costs during construction and operation,and their energy storage duration and energy density are limited,which no longer meet the high demands for energy in modern society.Therefore,researching novel batteries with high energy density and high quality load is a top priority.3D printing technology,as a novel additive manufacturing technique that builds complex three-dimensional structures layer by layer,has garnered widespread attention and application.Unlike traditional manufacturing techniques,3D printing technology features low cost,simple operation,high efficiency,and easy customization,providing a broad development prospect for the preparation of electrochemical energy storage batteries.This paper provides an overview of commonly used 3D printing technologies for electrochemical energy storage,the various components of 3D printed batteries(including electrodes,current collectors,and electrolytes),the materials used in 3D printing applications for all-solid-state batteries,as well as their electrochemical performance and application effects.The limitations of current 3D printed batteries are highlighted,and the future development trends are eagerly anticipated,aiming to provide valuable insights for this rapidly evolving field.
