How do lithium ion batteries work?

The architecture of lithium-ion batteries employs a bi-continuous network that supports electron and lithium-ion transport in separate channels. Mixing provides two functions in the preparation of slurries Dispersal of conductive materials like carbon black, a nanomaterial with extremely high surface area.

How a mixing plant process is adapted for large scale production?

The process is adapted for large scale production of functional coatings. Key of the mixing plant process is the segmentation of the process steps in order to feed, mix and disperse the single materials with the most suitable sequence and the needed stress for the materials.

Is lithium a conductive material?

In the electrode, the conductive material serves as a conduit for electrons, whereas lithium mass transport to and from the active materials takes place via the porous structure between the active material and conductive network by the electrolyte. Cathode active materials like lithium iron phosphate, NMC and NCA, are not especially conductive.

What is a mixing plant system?

Long residual times will support this process and will ensure a high yield in downstream production. Mixing plant system is designed for large scale production and can be implemented into productions which will produce battery cells for 10, 20, 50,GWh yearly production.

How do you coat a lithium ion battery?

mThe Coating Process—Slot-Die Against a Backing RollTo ensure optimum battery performance, ever step in the coating process must be tightly controlled. Slot-die coating against a backing roll is the most common met od for applying lithium-ion and supercapacitor slurries. Mixing conditions and the related equipment have a strong impa

What is planetary mixing technology?

Planetary mixing technology is mature and at present state-of-the-art. In larger installations, multiple planetary mixing systems are serving to meet the slurry demand. With increasing production quantities as they are requested by gigafactories at the moment alternative processing becomes important in order to reduce production cost of LIB cells.
