Roll Pressing Process of Lithium-ion Battery Electrodes

【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 batteries.

Overview of Lithium-ion Battery Binders

In the production of lithium-ion batteries, binders are often referred to as "auxiliary materials" together with conductive agents, additives, etc., but they are an indispensable key material. Their main function is to adhere active substances and conductive agents to the current collector to ensure electrical contact between powder material particles in the electrode and between the powder material and the current collector. Binders have a low mass ratio in the electrode and do not participate in electrochemical reactions. Their main function is to adhere active substances and conductive agents to the current collector to keep the electrode intact. Binders affect the formation of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI), charge transfer inside the electrode and between the electrode-electrolyte interface, the wetting behavior of the electrode, and the cycle performance and cost of the battery. Therefore, an ideal binder can ensure the stability of the electrode structure with the least possible usage.

PVDF, CMC, PAA, etc.! Research on Lithium Battery Binders

LIBs electrodes are mainly composed of electrochemically active electrode materials, conductive additives, binders, current collectors, etc. Among them, binders are an important component of LIBs electrodes. Binders can tightly attach active substances and conductive agents to the current collector to form a complete electrode, prevent the active substances from falling off and peeling off during the charge and discharge process , and can evenly disperse the active substances and conductive agents, thereby forming a good electron and ion transmission network and realizing efficient transmission of electrons and lithium ions.

1. What is electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)? 🔍

1️⃣Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a non-destructive parameter determination and effective method for determining battery kinetic behavior. A small-amplitude sinusoidal voltage signal with a frequency of w1 is applied to the battery system, and the system generates a sinusoidal current response with a frequency of w2. The change in the ratio of the excitation voltage to the response current is the impedance spectrum of the electrochemical system.
