One-Step and Two-Step Pressing Method for Battery Electrode

The main purpose of the rolling press is to control the electrode in the designed range, enhance the peel strength of the electrode, and reduce the transmission distance of lithium ion. TOB New Energy can provide a full set battery electrode rolling press machine system for lithium ion battery manufacturing and research. The continuous Heat roller press machine, automatic roller press and lab press machine is suitable for all battery electrode pressing.

Due to the different material systems, the roll pressure rebound of the cathode electrode is relatively small, while the roll pressure rebound of the anode electrode is larger. Therefore, it is generally accepted that the cathode electrode should be rolled only once. For the anode electrode sheet, some enterprises only roll once, while some enterprises choose to roll twice, which is quite different. In view of this situation, the researchers compared the One-Step and Two-Step pressing of graphite anode sheet. The results showed that One-Step pressing could easily lead to the rupture and crushing of the active particles, the aperture of the upper layer (away from the copper foil) is greater than that of the lower layer (near the copper foil). The Two-Step pressing can not only reduce the fracture of the active particles as much as possible, but also make the pore diameter distribution in the electrode sheet even, It can promote the cell electrolyte wetting effect, and finally significantly improve the battery performance.
