Lithium battery energy storage mixer

What is the mixing process of lithium ion battery slurry?

The mixing process is the first step in producing Lithium-Ion Battery-Slurries. It is crucial for battery quality and has a significant impact on the cell's performance. In the mixing process, active material, binder, and conductive additives are mixed with a dispersion agent, like water or solvent, to form the battery-slurry.

How does mixing affect battery performance?

It is crucial for battery quality and has a significant impact on the cell's performance. In the mixing process, active material, binder, and conductive additives are mixed with a dispersion agent, like water or solvent, to form the battery-slurry. The mixing tools must distribute the particles homogeneously throughout the entire volume.

How Netzsch planetary mixers improve lithium-ion battery slurry mixing efficiency?

In conclusion, the NETZSCH Planetary Mixers significantly enhance lithium-ion battery slurry mixing efficiency and quality through innovative design and optimized power input. However, the PMH is not limited to a single technology.

How long does it take to mix a battery?

In a battery mixing plant, mixing is divided into the Cathode Line and the Anode Line. The most critical mixing is for the anode due to the higher viscosity and the potential damage to the binder structure. The current mixing times are between 4-6 hours.

What is a planetary mixer used for?

These mixing tools must also fulfill other important requirements: breaking up potential agglomerates, wetting out and coating of particles, and avoiding local material accumulation on a microscopic level. Currently, many conventional planetary mixers are used for mixing battery slurries for cathodes and anodes.

How long does a planetary mixer take to mix slurry?

During tests in the NETZSCH lab, the mixing time was significantly reduced by a factor of 2. The NETZSCH Planetary Mixers (PMH) mixed the slurry in 120 minutes and delivered even better quality performance. So, why were the NETZSCH Planetary Mixers so much better, and how does a Planetary Mixer work?
