Welcome to the Future Production Technologies page. Here, we will highlight new approaches for coating and drying in battery production, with a focus on improving energy efficiency and reducing costs. In the future, we’ll be assessing different future production technologies.

Technologies under assessment:

• Mixing:
  • Continuous mixing (extrusion)
  • High-speed tumbler mixing
• Dry Coating:
  • Electrostatic spraying
  • Brush application
  • Electrostatic fluidized bed deposition
  • Extrusion-based coating
  • Free-standing electrode fabrication
  • Direct calendaring
• Laser Drying:
  • VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser)
  • Diode laser drying
• NIR-Drying (Near-Infrared Drying)
• Pre-lithiation
• Roll-to-Roll Vacuum Drying
• Multilayer Coating
• Rotative High-Speed Single Sheet Stacking
• Mini Environments
