The conventional wet electrode manufacturing process consists of mixing, coating, drying, calendaring, post-drying, and cell assembly steps, as shown in Fig. 1 [2, 3]. The wet process follows the essential step of a slurry formation consisting of active materials, binders, conductive additives, and solvents.
The wet coating also enables the production of thicker electrodes, resulting in higher energy–density batteries. However, using solvents in the wet coating can result in environmental and safety concerns, and the drying and pressing steps can increase the processing time and cost [16, 17, 18].
The electrode manufacturing procedure is as follows: battery constituents, which include (but are not necessarily limited to) the active material, conductive additive, and binder, are homogenized in a solvent. These components contribute to the capacity and energy, electronic conductivity, and mechanical integrity of the electrode.
Despite its widespread acceptance, wet processing of electrodes faces a number of problems, including expensive and dangerous solvent recovery, cut-off waste, coating inconsistencies, and microstructural defects due to the solvent drying process.
Wet electrode coating technology, first utilized by Sony in the 1990s and still used today, is the most popular and basic technology. However, the wet process has drawbacks, including high costs, hazardous chemicals, expensive solvent recovery, and energy-intensive electrode drying.
While other methods can be used for wet and dry battery electrode technology, the dry pressing method includes using a hydraulic press to compress dry electrode material into the required shape and density. The electrode that results is then trimmed to the proper size and shape.
Dry vs Wet Separator Technology
Wet separator is thinner and hence enables higher energy density at cell level. Wet separator is easier to pass nail penetration test. Dry separator is more environment friendly. China produces around 80% of the world''s separators. Out of these, 70% are wet process separators and 30% are process separators.
