Cell design for the electrodeposition of polyacrylonitrile onto graphite composite electrodes for use in lithium-ion cells
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is among the most common polymer materials in the world thanks to its versatility in a wide range of applications. Of importance to this work is its use in electrochemical cells. PAN has seen use as a separator material and as a binder material in lithium-ion cells. Expanding upon innovations made in recent decades for electrodepositing PAN onto conductive surfaces, this work details methods used to apply PAN as a thin coating to graphite composite electrodes; the resultant films may then be used for further electrochemical analysis in a lithium-ion cell. Graphite electrodes coated with electrodeposited PAN films were produced of a practical size for electrochemical testing in Swagelok cells; optical microscopy images of the resulting PAN coated graphite electrodes were also recorded to study the morphology of the coating.

Abstract
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is among the most common polymer materials in the world thanks to its versatility in a wide range of applications. Of importance to this work is its use in electrochemical cells. PAN has seen use as a separator material and as a binder material in lithium-ion cells. Expanding upon innovations made in recent decades for electrodepositing PAN onto conductive surfaces, this work details methods used to apply PAN as a thin coating to graphite composite electrodes; the resultant films may then be used for further electrochemical analysis in a lithium-ion cell. Graphite electrodes coated with electrodeposited PAN films were produced of a practical size for electrochemical testing in Swagelok cells; optical microscopy images of the resulting PAN coated graphite electrodes were also recorded to study the morphology of the coating.
