Coating Basics
Purpose: To uniformly coat a fluid slurry onto the surface of a metal foil, dry it, and produce a battery electrode
Principle: The coating roller rotates to carry the slurry, and the amount of slurry transferred is adjusted by adjusting the gap between the doctor blade and the roller. The relative rotation of the back roller and the coating roller is used to transfer the slurry onto the substrate. Subsequently, the solvent in the slurry is evaporated through drying and heating, causing the solid matter to adhere to the substrate.

- difficult to level the slurry on the surface of nickel foam
- high viscosity of the slurry prevents effective infiltration
high viscosity of the slurry prevents effective infiltration
- difficult to control the uniformity of coating
- Poor bonding and easy shedding occur in areas with heavy coating weight
Adjust the solid content or formula of the slurry to reduce its viscosity
Produce the sheets separately first, and then transfer and compress them together with the nickel foam
