Composition, characteristics, and new processes of lithium-ion electrodes.

Chemical materials and process technologies such as binders in the manufacturing process of electrode plates.

- Thank you for your hard work enduring oxidation and reduction with the electrode binder; it's about time... - LFP → water-based coating, NCM → powder coating, solid-state → Fiber Fibrillation might be the main contenders? - The dry process is key to the productivity of widespread adoption. - Solid-state batteries seem to be compatible with the dry process. - Solid-state batteries theoretically do not require a binder, but there are other challenges... - Solid electrolytes and bipolar structures, will it be multiplication or addition? Looking forward to the future... - Is it possible to achieve a lithium-sulfur battery with a continuous electrode at the 500Wh/kg level? This book addresses the manufacturing of current lithium-ion batteries, focusing on the manufacturing process of the electrode plates, particularly the binder (adhesive, binding agent), chemical materials, process technology, and their new developments. For battery manufacturers, the wet binder and electrode manufacturing, which are considered dirty work, are areas they prefer to avoid. I have attempted to collect data and provide explanations in the hope that chemical engineering alumni can contribute, even if only slightly, to solving these issues. Please forgive any lack of clarity regarding the technical know-how of individual manufacturers. (“Introduction” by Shuichi Sugawara)
