Fraunhofer researchers develop new low-cost dry-film electrode production process

Green Car Congress

Production at locations with high electricity prices—such as Germany—is, therefore, very high-cost. For all these reasons, we think that our technology can help to achieve internationally competitive battery cell production in Germany and Europe. BroadBit uses it to produce new types of sodium-ion batteries.
