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 batter...

Presentation of Wanhua Chemical: Comprehensive Solutions for Lithium Battery Anode Binders

Overview of Lithium - Ion Battery Binders  Binders, often grouped with conductive agents and additives as "auxiliary materials" in lithium - ion battery production, are crucial and indispensable materials. Their main function is to adhere active materials and conductive agents to current collectors, ensuring electrical contact between powder material particles in the electrode and between the powder materials and the current collector. Binders have a low mass fraction in the electrode and do not participate in electrochemical reactions. Their primary role is to attach active materials and conductive agents to the current collector, maintaining the integrity of the electrode. Binders influence the formation of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI), charge transfer within the electrode and at the electrode - electrolyte interface, the wetting behavior of the electrode, as well as the battery's cycling performance and cost. Therefore, an ideal binder can guarantee the stabil...
