MINIMISING MANUFACTURING DEFECTS in Li-ion battery production stages

Electrification is happening fast and on a global scale. Electric vehicles (EVs), scooters, domestic appliances, domestic energy storage, green energy storage banks and many more industries are making the transition.

However, with the pressure to scale up fast and adopt new higher energy storage battery designs and processes there can be risks. Therefore, the need for exceptional quality is more critical than ever. One major consequence is thermal runaway; which can be caused by contamination in the battery cell, picked up during the manufacturing process.

If a Lithium Ion Battery suffers an electrical short, the short can very quickly accelerate and lead to ‘thermal runaway’, meaning the battery can no longer be controlled and can become a major fire and safety hazard.

Pr. Paul Christensen, Professor of Pure and Applied Electrochemistry will share his experiences and research on just how significant a thermal runaway event can be and show some alarming footage of real-life events.

In this educational webinar, we highlighted the importance of rigorous quality control within the different battery manufacturing stages and how this must be an underlying focus within each design stage moving forwards.
