Nature Energy 8, 1180–1181 (2023) Cite this article Lithium-ion battery manufacturing is energy-intensive, raising concerns about energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions amid surging global demand.
The new manufacturing technologies such as high-efficiency mixing, solvent-free deposition, and fast formation could be the key to achieve this target. Besides the upgrading of battery materials, the potential of increasing the energy density from the manufacturing end starts to make an impact.
New research reveals that battery manufacturing will be more energy-efficient in future because technological advances and economies of scale will counteract the projected rise in future energy demand.
Besides the cell manufacturing, “macro”-level manufacturing from cell to battery system could affect the final energy density and the total cost, especially for the EV battery system. The energy density of the EV battery system increased from less than 100 to ∼200 Wh/kg during the past decade (Löbberding et al., 2020).
Figure 1 introduces the current state-of-the-art battery manufacturing process, which includes three major parts: electrode preparation, cell assembly, and battery electrochemistry activation. First, the active material (AM), conductive additive, and binder are mixed to form a uniform slurry with the solvent.
