Jagenberg’s electrode coating lines equipped with Aligned Graphite® Technology allow the production of ultra-low resistance negative electrodes with controlled graphite particle orientation. These electrodes are a drop-in replacement for next-generation, fast-charging lithium-ion batteries. The Aligned Graphite® production lines can be supplied as turnkey equipment fully integrated into the state-of-the-art GWh-battery production environment.
Need for improved GWh-production technologies
The mass adoption of EVs has led to a huge demand for low-cost, high-performance lithium-ion batteries. Cell manufacturers are forced to scale up quickly to meet production targets and leverage economies of scale. In parallel, their customers, EV manufacturers, require significantly faster-charging cells. This drives demand for improvement both in battery technology as well as production capabilities, all while ensuring full compatibility with the established GWh-production standards and supply chains.
Partnering to establish the new standard for negative electrode production
Swiss Battery technology provider and anode coating expert Battrion AG has developed the Aligned Graphite® Technology for the mass production of fast-charging lithium-ion batteries. By improving the microstructure of negative electrodes, the technology can reduce the charging time of lithium-ion batteries by up 50%.
