As the global battery market rapidly expands, we understand that manufacturers are under intense pressure to improve performance and reduce costs. Next-generation anode and cathode chemistries promise significant improvements in battery life durability but may impose unforeseen requirements in the manufacturing process. This can include handling and blending multiple powder types with different physical and chemical properties.
Other challenges may include:- Achieving high OEB levels and other battery regulatory compliance
- Preventing cross-contamination
- Sourcing powder handling equipment that is ISO cleanroom certified
- Delivering adjustable flow rates for cohesive or extremely loose powders
- Container corrosion when exposed to chemicals due to molybdenum content
- High shear blending without the risk of contamination
- Creating and maintaining an ultra-low humidity environment
- Pitting and exposure to high temperatures during the manufacturing process
