Fraunhofer develops new dry-coating process for battery electrodes

Green Car Congress

Removing toxic solvents and long, energy-intensive drying machines from the process benefits the environment. It could equally be used on lithium-ion cells as on lithium-sulfur or sodium-ion cells. Discussions are currently underway with several automobile and cell manufacturers to plan the construction of a number of pilot systems.
