Numerical modelling and process optimisation of slot-die coating for lithium-ion battery electrodes

Key Points

• Optimisation increases the efficiency of slot-die coating for lithium-ion battery electrodes, leading to improved performance.
• Key evidence highlights a significant reduction in material waste by 20% during the coating process.
• Numerical modelling used to predict fluid dynamics and coating uniformity across sample electrodes.
• These findings may enable manufacturers to enhance production processes, with further validation needed in real-world applications.
