【Overview】: The rolling of battery electrodes involves the friction between the rollers and the electrode, which draws the electrode sheet into the gap between the rotating rollers. During this process, the electrode sheet undergoes compression and deformation. Unlike the rolling of steel, where the rolling process mainly causes the material to extend longitudinally and widen laterally without a change in density, the rolling of battery electrodes focuses on the compaction of active material on both the positive and negative electrode sheets. During this process, the particles undergo migration, rearrangement, and embedding, resulting in reduced voids between particles and a denser arrangement. The purpose is to increase the compaction density of the positive or negative electrode materials. Proper compaction density can increase battery discharge capacity, reduce internal resistance, minimize polarization loss, extend cycle life, and improve the utilization rate of lithium-ion batter...
