In lithium battery manufacturing, the often-overlooked A/B-side coating misalignment issue during the coating process significantly affects battery capacity, safety, and cycle life. Misalignment refers to inconsistencies in the positional alignment or thickness distribution of coatings on the front and back sides of electrodes, which can lead to risks such as localized lithium plating and mechanic...

Lithium plating refers to the detrimental phenomenon where lithium ions fail to intercalate into the graphite anode during charging processes, instead undergoing electrochemical reduction to form metallic lithium deposits. This results in the formation of characteristic silver-gray lithium metal layers or dendritic lithium crystals on the anode surface. Conventionally, battery disassembly has been...

A lithium-ion battery is primarily composed of a cathode, anode, electrolyte, and separator. During charging, lithium ions de-intercalate from the cathode material, migrate through the electrolyte, and intercalate into the anode material. During discharging, lithium ions move in the reverse direction, de-intercalating from the anode and returning to the cathode through the electrolyte. This repeat...

The voltage of a lithium battery is closely related to the electrode potentials of its cathode and anode materials. Variations in voltage among lithium batteries using different materials primarily stem from the following factors: Impact of Electrode Materials’ Chemical Properties Lithium batteries operate through the movement of lithium ions between the cathode and anode during charging and disch...

Low cell capacity is an intuitive judgment based on comparing the post-formation discharge capacity with the design value. If the measured capacity falls below the design specification, the first step is to verify whether the formation process parameters are correctly set (e.g., discharge current, charge duration, cutoff voltage, and formation temperature). ① If the formation steps are confirmed c...

1. Process Principles Stacking Process: Anode and cathode sheets are cut to specified dimensions, then laminated with separators to form unit cells. These unit cells are stacked in parallel to create battery modules. Winding Process: Pre-cut anode sheets, separators, and cathode sheets are wound in a defined sequence around a fixed mandrel, compressed into cylindrical, elliptical, or prismatic sha...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the powerhouse of modern electronics and electric vehicles (EVs), and their performance hinges on the cathode materials. Among these, ternary cathode materials such as NCM (Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese oxides) and NCA (Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum oxides) dominate due to their balanced energy density and stability. However, varying the ratios of nickel (Ni...

In the cutting process, issues such as rapid mold wear, long mold change times, poor flexibility, and low production efficiency often lead to unstable processes, resulting in inconsistent electrode cutting quality and reduced battery performance. Laser cutting, due to its advantages of no vibration deviation, high precision, good stability, and no need for mold replacement, has gradually become ma...
