German government funding development of Fraunhofer DRYtraec electrode dry-coating into “DRYplatform”

Green Car Congress

The DRYtraec coating process developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS allows the dry production of battery electrodes without toxic organic solvents or water ( earlier post ). In particular, the space- and energy-intensive drying step of conventional wet-chemical coating processes is completely eliminated.
