dc.description.abstractSelective laser sintering is an additive manufacturing technique that uses a laser to consolidate powdered material and create complex three dimensional parts. Typically, SLS utilizes thermoplastic polymer media to create dense plastic components (direct SLS). It is also possible, however, to use composite powders with non-melting additives paired with a suitable binder to create highly functional materials (indirect SLS). This paper will describe the formulation of composite materials containing conductive and electroactive material additives to fabricate lithium-ion battery components (i.e. anodes, cathodes, separators, and cases). Selective laser sintering adds to the geometric flexibility of the lithium battery components and enables batteries that conform to their surroundings, effectively reducing their geometric footprint. Preliminary galvanostatic charge/discharge test results will be presented for the functional Li-ion cathodes created using SLS, as well as next steps to improve capacity and reliability.en_US
