The complexity of the battery manufacturing process, the lack of knowledge of the dependencies of product quality on process parameters and the lack of standards in quality assurance often lead to production over-engineering, high scrap rates and costly test series during industrialization .
Challenges in Industrial Battery Cell Manufacturing The basis for reducing scrap and, thus, lowering costs is mastering the process of cell production. The process of electrode production, including mixing, coating and calendering, belongs to the discipline of process engineering.
There are various players involved in the battery manufacturing processes, from researchers to product responsibility and quality control. Timely, close collaboration and interaction among these parties is of vital relevance.
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.
There is lot research going on the upcoming battery technologies, but many developments are still only in the A-sample stage due to the significant risk for upscaling. This flexibility will help battery manufacturers to adapt their production facilities to next-generation battery technologies, making them ready for upscaled or series production.
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.
