What is a battery electrode?

An electrode consists of an electroactive material, as well as a binder material, which enables structural integrity while improving the interconnectivity within the electrode, adhesion to the current collector and the formation of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) during the first battery cell cycles .

How does electrode manufacturing work?

Electrode manufacture involves several steps including the mixing of the different components, casting in a current collector and solvent evaporation . After the solvent evaporation step, a calendering process is used to reduce porosity and to improve particles cohesion, consequently improving battery performance .

How do processing steps affect the final properties of battery electrodes?

Electrode final properties depend on processing steps including mixing, casting, spreading, and solvent evaporation conditions. The effect of these steps on the final properties of battery electrodes are presented. Recent developments in electrode preparation are summarized.

What is dry battery electrode technology?

Our review paper comprehensively examines the dry battery electrode technology used in LIBs, which implies the use of no solvents to produce dry electrodes or coatings. In contrast, the conventional wet electrode technique includes processes for solvent recovery/drying and the mixing of solvents like N-methyl pyrrolidine (NMP).

How much does electrode manufacturing cost?

Typically, the electrode manufacturing cost represents ∼33% of the battery total cost, Fig. 2b) showing the main parameter values for achieving high cell energy densities >400 Wh/kg, depending on the active materials used for the electrodes and the separator/electrolyte , .

Why is electrode processing important?

Electrode processing plays an important role in advancing lithium-ion battery technologies and has a significant impact on cell energy density, manufacturing cost, and throughput. Compared to the extensive research on materials development, however, there has been much less effort in this area.
