The production process for high-performance lithium-ion battery (LiB) cells used in electric vehicles, energy storage systems and other applications has to adhere to very high-quality standards to ensure optimum cell performance, cell safety and improved battery life. Key to this is the accurate and reliable measurement of LiB electrode components for dependable process control. While certain technologies have been around for years to measure the anode and cathode coating weight and electrode thickness, they lacked the measurement resolution and reproducibility needed to enable cell manufacturers to optimize the electrode quality and performance. Greater measurement capabilities are required for today’s exacting, high-performance energy storage devices.

This Podcast reviews the latest developments in measurement technology that provide manufacturers with greater process and product visibility (and control) of their coating and roll press lines. This insight helps LiB cell manufacturers to better understand the dynamics of these processes, enabling the production of cells with better and more consistent electrode coating and thickness uniformity. This Podcast also discusses how partnering with an experienced and knowledgeable provider of measurement and controls technology can help improve LiB production today and enable innovations leading to better batteries for more demanding future applications.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Learn about the latest technologies for LiB electrode component measurement
  • Get an inside view on what is driving measurement innovation
  • Understand how process visibility can greatly improve process control
  • Find out what to look for in a measurement and controls solutions provider
