To realize the full potential of batteries, it is important to consider not only the active materials used, but also the other electrode components and their processing. The inactive components added to improve the conductivity and mechanical properties of the electrodes also play an important role. Binders and conductivity additives are therefore at the forefront of electrode development, with a particular focus on their interactions and influence on the active material and cell properties.
High performance mixers and roll-to-roll coating machines are available to produce slurries and electrodes, covering the full range from laboratory scale to pilot production.
