Lithium battery technology
Japan’s Asada Iron Works in the exhibition rechargeable battery “International Battery Exhibition” on display for lithium-ion rechargeable battery electrode materials, manufacturing processes, continuous process. Specific approach is to first deal through a mix of distributed devices powdered active substance and conductive additives, and then add the binder to the mixer (Binder) and solvents, resulting eventually in slurry (paint).
Asada Iron Works, said the original method for making the mainstream of electrode materials is a large storage tank at the same time adding to the active substance, conductive additives, binder and solvent, and mixed batch-type operation, compared to the new system method can be mixed dispersion device to improve the density of active substances, it is expected to improve Sony battery capacity, but also because it is a continuous process, is also expected to improve production efficiency.
The company for the lithium-ion rechargeable battery electrode materials, improved process had been to the resin blends (mixed resin and filler material processes) the supply of mixed dispersion device “Miracle KCK” (Figure 2). In addition to mixing compression force and shear force (Shearing Force), it will also produce mechanical and chemical effect (to obtain mechanical energy will undergo chemical reaction), active substance (LiMn2O4, etc.) can be conductive additive (acetylene black) around the high – density to be configured.
Asada Iron Works, said this can increase the density of active substances is expected to increase the battery capacity. Although Asada Iron Works did not disclose details, but in trial, in addition to the effects of increased battery capacity, there are density insulation cracks after effects such as elimination.
Asada Iron Works will be made through the above process by the active material and conductive additive composition of powder and binder and solvent into the core sand mixer with the continuous manufacture of pulp. This is the use of vehicles in recent years in order to meet the high productivity demands.
Asada Iron Works has already begun to battery manufacturers, the supply of “Miracle KCK”, In addition, in the future will provide a combination of the complete system using a continuous process.
