Li-Ion Battery: Stable and Homogeneous Electrode Slurry

To cover our increasing demand for communication and mobility, there is an exponential demandin energy storage and batteries. To cover this need, Lithium-ion based battery is the most widelyused technology. However, for powerful, longer-lasting, and safer batteries, the manufacturingprocess still presents many challenges.
The slurry formulation is one of the key steps. This layer provides the major final battery’smechanical and electrical properties. Being a complex formulation, over time, the dispersion tendsto become heterogeneous with particle agglomeration. These destabilizations have a huge impacton the coating layer and the final battery performance.
This application note presents a technology to detect destabilization and measure slurry stabilityin the function of the different parameters (formula, raw material, process)...
considering all the different parameters in a view to develop more powerful batteries.
