Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (FST) has expanded its material testing capabilities to include performance and compatibility evaluations of the rubber, elastomers and thermoplastics used to seal and safely maintain lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion material testing, however, requires a unique set of inputs to safely succeed.

One potential solution for enhancing capacity and production efficiency of lithium-ion batteries is to subdivide electrodes into dedicated functional layers. Application via simultaneous multilayer coating skips additional process steps that would increase costs and wastage. Philip Scharfer, co-head of the KIT research group.
