EV Battery Processes

Mixing :

The active materials are mixed by combining the processed metal oxides with a conductive additive and a binder

Coating :

This mixture is called a slurry which is then coated onto metal foil sheets, typically aluminum or copper

Pressing :

To press the coated electrode materials. Pressing removes excess solvents and improves the density, adhesion

Slitting :

The machine uses sharp blades or rotary cutters to slice the sheet into narrower strips or ribbons of the desired width

Notching :

Notching refers to the creation of grooves or notches to increase surface area in the battery’s electrodes

Vacuum Drying :

Vacuum drying is employed to remove moisture from these components and the assembled battery cells

Stacking :

The cathode and anode foils are stacked together with a separator material in between to create a jelly roll-like structure

Tab welding :

Connecting the electrode tabs to the current collectors, which are typically made of copper or aluminum foils

Packaging :

The purpose of packaging is to place Jelly roll into formed pouch, fill with electrolyte and seal

Pre-Charging :

It is the initial charging process performed on a newly assembled battery pack.

Degassing :

It is a critical step that helps remove any excess or volatile gases that may have accumulated within the battery cells.

Aging :

It is a controlled procedure where the battery cells are subjected to specific conditions to simulate their performance over time

Inspection :

In inspection the battery cells undergo final testing to ensure they meet the required performance and quality standards
