From 0.5 to 20.0% by weight is better than FE properties. This is PT
When the FE powder content is 0.5% by weight or less, the bonding strength of the PTFE powder is poor and the conductive powder cannot be retained,
This is because when the content is 20.0% by weight or more, the function of the conductive liquid retaining layer is hindered by the insulating property and water repellency of PTFE. Also,
Considering battery characteristics, the amount of PTFE powder is 2.0% ~ 10.
0% by weight is more preferred.
