The development and production of batteries has become a strategic imperative for the EU, enabling the clean energy transition and as a key component of the competitiveness of the automotive sector. To help the EU become a global leader in sustainable battery production and use, in 2018 the Commission published a strategic action plan on batteries.
Developments in different battery chemistries and cell formats play a vital role in the final performance of the batteries found in the market. However, battery manufacturing process steps and their product quality are also important parameters affecting the final products’ operational lifetime and durability.
Knowing that material selection plays a critical role in achieving the ultimate performance, battery cell manufacturing is also a key feature to maintain and even improve the performance during upscaled manufacturing. Hence, battery manufacturing technology is evolving in parallel to the market demand.
In this regard, novel material design, together with next-generation manufacturing technologies, including solvent-free manufacturing, will help in making the process cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Technology is evolving towards Industry 4.0; therefore, it is inevitable for battery manufacturers to get their share.
The growth in demand for Li-ion batteries also brings intense competition and various challenges for manufacturers. From scaling up your battery production line, reducing scrap rates, optimizing production quality and throughput, to working out how to accommodate future innovations, and ensuring sustainability.
Production steps in lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing summarizing electrode manufacturing, cell assembly and cell finishing (formation) based on prismatic cell format. Electrode manufacturing starts with the reception of the materials in a dry room (environment with controlled humidity, temperature, and pressure).
