After taking this course, you will gain insight into various aspects of battery materials and battery manufacturing. Moreover, an interesting aspect of the course is that you will be able to spend a lot of time in the lab (more than 50% of the course time) and fabricate and analyze a working battery by yourself using different equipment and tools.
You will also learn how to analyze battery performance (e.g., capacity, cycling stability, fast charging capability) by yourself in the lab, which is a similar process to that used by the Gigafactories (e.g., Northvolt, CATL). After taking this course, you will gain insight into various aspects of battery materials and battery manufacturing.
The battery manufacturing process is a complex sequence of steps transforming raw materials into functional, reliable energy storage units. This guide covers the entire process, from material selection to the final product’s assembly and testing.
Mixing the constituent ingredients is the first step in battery manufacture. After granulation, the mixture is then pressed or compacted into preforms—hollow cylinders. The principle involved in compaction is simple: a steel punch descends into a cavity and compacts the mixture.
Here is the step-by-step process. As per the predefined size, the battery container is prepared from nickel-plated steel sheets. For alkaline batteries AA, AAA, AAAA, C, D, etc. are the popular sizes. As we have already discussed, a mixture of manganese dioxide and graphite is prepared that is used as the cathode.
What’s inside a battery? A battery consists of three major components – the two electrodes and the electrolyte. But the commercial batteries consist of a few more components that make them reliable and easy to use. In simple words, the battery produces electricity when the two electrodes immersed in the electrolyte react together.
