Are lithium-ion batteries a good energy storage solution?

1. Introduction Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) attract considerable interest as an energy storage solution in various applications, including e-mobility, stationary, household tools and consumer electronics, thanks to their high energy, power density values and long cycle life .

What are lithium ion battery cells?

Manufacturing of Lithium-Ion Battery Cells LIBs are electrochemical cells that convert chemical energy into electrical energy (and vice versa). They consist of negative and positive electrodes (anode and cathode, respectively), both of which are surrounded by the electrolyte and separated by a permeable polyolefin membrane (separator).

How are lithium ion batteries made?

State-of-the-Art Manufacturing Conventional processing of a lithium-ion battery cell consists of three steps: (1) electrode manufacturing, (2) cell assembly, and (3) cell finishing (formation) [8, 10].

What are the benefits of lithium ion battery manufacturing?

The benefit of the process is that typical lithium-ion battery manufacturing speed (target: 80 m/min) can be achieved, and the amount of lithium deposited can be well controlled. Additionally, as the lithium powder is stabilized via a slurry, its reactivity is reduced.
