4 The Coating Process High-Volume, Cost-Effective Coating for Lithium-Ion Battery Electrodes Slot-die coating against a backing roll is the most common process method for lithium-ion and supercapacitor slurries. Common as it is, there are challenges that must be overcome to achieve a robust electrode coating process and superior battery performance. B&W MEGTEC technicians closely manage the precise combination of the dry solids and liquid components. The mixing condition has a strong impact on the slurry, along with the coating and drying process, which ultimately impacts battery performance. Because the slurry carries particle dispersions, the particles can become trapped in the gap between the slot-die lips and the backing roll/ foil. This can result in a streak, or even worse, cause the web to break. For energy cells, which require heavier/thicker coat loads, the trapped particles occur infrequently. Slot-die coating with a backing roll is the common coating method. However, power cells require lighter/thinner coat loads. As a result, the issue with the particles creates a lower limit to the coat weight. The largest challenge when slot-die coating against a backing roll comes when applying the active materials to both sides of the substrate or current collector. As indicated in the name, when coating with a backing roll, the substrate is supported by and wraps a roller. The backing roll provides a very good datum to produce an accurate wet coating layer. Whatever coating process is deployed, it is imperative the coating be uniform on each side. If the Side A coating is not uniform, the condition will negatively impact the coating of Side B, thereby resulting in an uneven distribution of the active material. This ultimately affects battery performance. B&W MEGTEC developed an easy-to-use laboratory coating line designed specifically for short production runs. The coating line can produce up to 250 mm-wide coated substrates running at speeds up to 3 meters/minute. 4
5 Engineering a Better Way to Coat Battery Electrodes Problem The traditional tandem coating process is characterized by coating and drying one side of the current collector, then re-running the foil through the entire coating and drying process for the second side of the foil. Tandem coating also requires a longer manufacturing line that takes up more factory space. An electrode manufacturer was looking for a better method of electrode coating and requested a collaborative effort with B&W MEGTEC in an effort to develop a simultaneous two-sided coating and drying process that did not require a vertical web path through the dryer. The potential customer approached B&W MEGTEC because they were familiar with its patented air flotation drying equipment and R&D pilot line capabilities. Technology previously developed for simultaneous two-sided battery electrode coating dictated the need for a vertical air flotation dryer. However, the customer did not want a vertical web-path dryer because of the substantial building height required and the increased difficulty in providing operator access for tending purposes compared to a dryer with a horizontal web path. Solution The engineering goal was to develop a simultaneous two-sided coating method that uses a horizontal air flotation dryer instead of a vertical dryer. B&W MEGTEC engineering and R&D teams developed a new coating concept and refined it through extensive testing on the B&W MEGTEC R&D pilot line. The new B&W MEGTEC process required just a single pass. In addition, there was only one coating station, one dryer, and all equipment was located on the same level of the facility, all within a small footprint compared to a traditional tandem coating line. Potential benefits of the single-pass feature of the B&W MEGTEC slot-die tension web coating line include: Reduced electrode manufacturing costs Effective doubling of production volume without changing line speed Reduced waste Lower capital and operating costs Improved overall production 5
6 Simultaneous Two-Sided Coating Run High-Volumes, Improve Quality, and Deliver Better Overall Cost-Effectiveness The traditional approach for manufacturing battery electrodes is to coat one side at a time. This requires two completely separate passes through the same coating line, whereby a second coating station is installed after the drying oven. A more efficient method is to coat both sides in a single pass. This can be accomplished in two different ways: 1) with a sequential or tandem coating system or 2) simultaneous two-sided coating. B&W MEGTEC developed a tensioned web coating process using a slot-die mounted in a vertical orientation to coat a foil traveling horizontally. The coat weight uniformity can match backing roll coating with the proper configuration and process parameters. To successfully implement this approach, B&W MEGTEC modified the slot-die design to achieve uniform coating. In addition, B&W MEGTEC developed an exclusive method to stabilize the foil since there is no backing roll. B&W MEGTEC has pioneered and successfully implemented simultaneous two-sided horizontal tensioned-web coating. The benefits of this process include: Twice the throughput compared to singleside coaters Only one pass through the dryer delivers equal drying of both coated sides Smaller overall manufacturing footprint compared to tandem lines Lower capital and operating costs compared to tandem coating lines Increases the range of coat weights for lithium-ion slurries Increases incidents of particles being trapped at the coating point (no streaks, no foil breaks) Fewer problems with wrinkles at the coating point 6 In the tensioned-web coating process, a slot-die with a backing roll applies the electrode coating to the topside of the web, while the back side is simultaneously coated in the horizontal tensioned web mode just prior to entering the dryer. As the lithium-ion battery industry matures, pressure to decrease costs mounts. Battery manufacturers are seeking to lower material, as well as processing costs. Simultaneous two-sided coating using the tensioned web process enables battery manufacturers to be more competitive. Without the backing roll, there is no gap between the slurry coating and foil. For light coat weights used in power cells, this method provides uniform coatings down to 20 gsm coat weight or loading with enough flexibility to also meet the needs of energy cells at coat weights up to 200+gsm. In addition, by removing the backing roll, particles of active material do not become trapped, which eliminates the risk of streaks. Finally, tensioned web coating has been deployed in the production of primer coating on aluminum foil, which means it has been used to coat carbon slurry as thin as 2 gsm. While the full limits of the tensioned web coating process continue to be defined, B&W MEGTEC is improving this technique and exploring an ever-increasing range of capabilities.
7 GigaCoater and GigaCoaterXL Simultaneous two-sided coating delivers twice the production volume compared to single-side coaters. The dual coating method, in combination with coating rheology and GigaCoater TM machine properties, maximizes production time and delivers in-line quality control. The energy storage industry is demanding a significant reduction in production costs in combination with increased yields and product quality. Manufacturing large quantities of lithium-ion battery cells requires a significant change and dimensional upscaling of the production equipment and output per line to achieve industry targets. At the same time, the benefits of two-sided simultaneous coating technology become increasingly important the wider and faster coating lines are required to get. To meet these demands, the GigaCoater and GigaCoaterXL lines from B&W MEGTEC are engineered for large-scale lithium-ion battery manufacturing plants. With an output volume of up to 12 times our conventional two-sided coater, the B&W MEGTEC GigaCoater and GigaCoaterXL maximize manufacturing at a significantly lower total production cost: 50%-70% less floor space than typical single-side coating operations A small footprint that allows for efficient plant layouts and reduced floor space Thermal efficiencies that deliver lower energy requirements Wide web width significantly reduces the number of coils that need to be handled Simpler material flow enhances overall throughput Higher automation maximizes production volume Intuitive operator interface does not require an increase in operators per coating line, improves efficiencies, and yields an overall lower cost of production Full-scale lithium-ion battery electrode coating line on the B&W MEGTEC GigaCoater TM. 7

10 The Solvent Recovery Process Solvent Recovery Systems B&W MEGTEC has developed proprietary systems for the high-efficiency removal, recovery, and purification of solvents from coating line exhaust air streams in the battery electrode manufacturing process. These systems produce electronic-grade solvents and can be configured to achieve compliance with global and local emissions standards. System considerations could include: On-site dehydration/distillation of NMP has an extremely short return-on-investment cycle, compared to the cost of new NMP. In a laboratory environment with limited hours of operation, a carbon bed may be the most effective solution. For large industrial installations, such as mass manufacturing of battery electrodes, a condenser followed by either a concentrator or a scrubber is an effective solution. A final carbon bed can be used to reduce the solvent output of the system for applications requiring extremely low-level emissions to meet very strict requirements. The process is a closed-loop system. The exhaust air stream from the dryer is first pre-cooled via heat exchange with the dryer exhaust that is returned to the dryer as make-up air. The solvent is recovered from the exhaust stream via chilled water condensation. The exhaust air stream is reheated via heat exchange with the dryer exhaust and is returned to the dryer as make-up air. A small slip-stream resulting from air infiltration into the dryers is sent to a water scrubber or concentrator prior to being discharged to the atmosphere. In some cases, a carbon bed may be required. The liquid solvent can be reused at the production site by sending it to a distillation system for dehydration and purification for reuse in the manufacturing process or processed off-site. All distillation and purification systems can be supplied pre-assembled on skids for timely and easy installation. 10
