24 Claims

1. A method, comprising:

disposing a current collector material on a first plate and a second plate such that a first portion of the current collector material is on the first plate, and a second portion of the current collector material is on the second plate;

moving the first plate relative to the second plate such that a third portion of the current collector material is disposed between the first plate and the second plate;

dispensing a semi-solid electrode material onto the first portion of the current collector material and the second portion of the current collector material; and

moving the second plate relative to the first plate, such that the first portion of the current collector material moves relative to the second portion of the current collector material, and the third portion of the current collector material is removed from between the first plate and the second plate, the third portion of the current collector being uncoated.
