This presentation discusses the current state of electrode manufacturing for mass-market lithium-ion batteries, highlighting the limitations of the slurry casting process. Recent laboratory-scale research has demonstrated the potential of “smart” electrodes, which offer 30% more capacity and 50% lower degradation rates. These advancements could significantly improve electric vehicle (EV) range and battery durability. The Nextrode project aims to research and develop new manufacturing methods for smarter electrodes, focusing on understanding the science behind their performance and scaling up production for commercialization. Additionally, the Nextrode consortium will address scientific and industrial challenges, exploring control over constituent materials, pioneering radical manufacturing methods, and leveraging data science to facilitate the transition from lab-scale to high-volume production.
