During the lithium battery coating process, misalignment of the A and B surfaces is a critical yet often overlooked issue that directly impacts battery capacity, safety, and cycle life. This misalignment manifests as deviations in coating areas or uneven thickness between the front and back surfaces, potentially leading to risks such as lithium plating and electrode sheet fracture. This article will analyze the multi-dimensional causes from equipment, process, material, and other aspects, while sharing key improvement measures to enhance battery quality consistency. 1. Main Causes of A&B Surface Misalignment 1.1Equipment Factors Insufficient installation accuracy of backup roller/coating roller: Horizontal deviation, coaxial misalignment, or installation errors lead to coating displacement. Positioning error of the coating head: Inadequate encoder/grating ruler precision or sensor signal drift. Abnormal tension control: Uneven tension during unwinding/spooling causes foil stretching, deformation, or wrinkles. 1.2 Material Factors Uneven ductility: Variations in foil ductility result in loss of control over coating gap. Inadequate surface treatment: Surface oxides affect paste adhesion, indirectly causing positional deviation. 1.3Slurry Factors Excessive viscosity: Poor leveling results in slurry accumulation and misalignment. Significant surface tension differences: Uneven edge shrinkage of A/B side slurries. 1.4Process Parameters Coating speed disparity: Different speeds between the two sides lead to inconsistent leveling rates. Inconsistent drying conditions: Temperature differences in A/B side ovens cause varying substrate shrinkage. 2 Improvement Measures 2.1Equipment Optimization Regularly calibrate coaxiality and horizontal alignment of coating rollers and backup rollers. Replace high-precision encoders and grating rulers to ensure coating head positioning error ≤±0.1mm. Optimize tension control systems (e.g., PID closed-loop control) to maintain substrate tension fluctuation ≤±3%. 2.2Foil Material Control Select foils with consistent ductility (e.g., copper/aluminum foil with uniform tensile strength). Enhance foil surface treatment processes (e.g., plasma cleaning or chemical passivation). 2.3Slurry Adjustment Adjust slurry viscosity to optimal leveling range (anode: 10–12 Pa·s; cathode: 4–5 Pa·s). Add surfactants (e.g., PVP or SDS) to balance surface tension differences between A/B side slurries. 2.4Process Parameter Optimization Ensure A/B side coating speeds are consistent, with speed deviation <0.5 m/min. Implement segmented temperature-controlled drying (low-temperature stage for stress relaxation, high-temperature stage for rapid curing), maintaining temperature difference ≤5℃. 3. Specific Troubleshooting Procedures 3.1Equipment Inspection Use a laser interferometer to detect parallelism between coating rollers and backup rollers (error ≤0.02 mm/m). Check servo motor and sensor signal stability (avoid signal drift exceed...

The determination of low battery capacity (low capacity) for battery cells is based on a straightforward comparison between the post-formation (post-charging/discharging cycle) capacity and the designed capacity value. If the capacity measured after the formation process is lower than the designed value, the first response should be to confirm whether there are errors in the formation process settings (such as discharge current, charging time, cut-off voltage, and formation temperature). ①If the formation step settings are correct, it is necessary to change the testing point and re-perform the formation process on the battery cell to check if there are issues with the formation equipment or channels. ②Assuming no abnormalities are found in the formation data after changing the equipment, then the original equipment is likely problematic. ③If the re-test still shows low capacity, it can be confirmed that the low-capacity issue truly exists. After confirming the existence of low capacity, it is necessary to further determine the frequency and severity of the low-capacity occurrences to grasp the actual situation of low capacity from an overall perspective. This requires a more systematic approach. Before conducting a systematic analysis, it is advisable to first disassemble the re-charged low-capacity battery cells to inspect the interface. If no issues are found, it is likely due to insufficient positive electrode coating weight or inadequate design margin. If there are interface problems, it may be due to other issues in the manufacturing process or design. Next, we will investigate the causes of low capacity from the design end and the process manufacturing end. I. Design End Material system compatibility: In particular, the compatibility between the negative electrode and electrolyte has a significant impact on battery cell capacity. For newly introduced negative electrodes or electrolytes, if repeated tests show that each battery cell experiences lithium plating and low capacity, there is a high likelihood of material mismatch. The reasons for mismatch may include: ①Inadequate density, thickness, or instability of the SEI (Solid Electrolyte Interphase) film formed during formation; ②Possible delamination of the graphite layer caused by PC (propylene carbonate) in the electrolyte; ③Excessively high designed areal density or compaction density, making the battery cell unable to adapt to high-rate charging and discharging. Adequacy of capacity design margin: ①Starting from the gravimetric capacity of the positive electrode material: Due to errors in positive/negative electrode coating, formation cabinet accuracy, and adhesive effects on capacity, a certain capacity margin must be reserved during design. For new materials, accurate assessment of the gravimetric capacity of the positive electrode in the specific system is crucial. The same positive electrode material may not exhibit the same gravimetric capacity when paired with different negative ...
