Applications of advanced metrology for understanding the effects of drying temperature in the lithium-ion battery electrode manufacturing process

Ye Shui Zhang et al.

Summary: The temperature has a significant effect on the behavior of both the cathode and anode during the drying process. In the cathode, increasing temperature leads to carbon aggregation on the surface of active particles, improving conductivity. On the other hand, temperature variation has little impact on the electrochemical performance of the anode, which may be attributed to the use of low adhesion water-based binders.
