Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS in Dresden have developed a new battery cell production process that coats the electrodes of the energy storage cells with a dry film instead of liquid chemicals. This simplified process saves energy and eliminates toxic solvents. A paper on the Fraunhofer process, with colleagues from Samsung R&D in Japan, is published in the journal Energy Strorage Materials.
