A New Era of Dry Electrodes | MIXACO & Taogent DBE Mixing Test Laboratory is Open for Operation
Big News
As an enterprise with large-scale production experience of dry electrode mixing, MIXACO joins hands with Taogent to build a DBE Mixing Test Laboratory that is open for operation in Changzhou, China.
Meanwhile, well-known engineers with years of experience in the R&D and industrialization of dry electrodes will also participate in the strategic cooperation of the test laboratory, and jointly commit to the development and optimization of the dry electrode full process flow. This cooperation will cover the entire process from R&D, testing to large-scale production, providing a solid foundation for the R&D and industrialization of dry electrodes. We commit to creating a new dry electrode industry ecosystem that integrates innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.
Dry Electrode Technology: a New Era of Green Energy
Dry electrode technology is a revolutionary and innovative process that forms a self-supporting film through physical mixing. At the same time, dry electrode technology saves costs and improves performance through solvent-free electrode manufacturing, avoiding the use of harmful substances. It is an environmentally friendly green process. It has opened up new manufacturing methods for battery cathode and anode materials and solid electrolytes.
Advantages of Dry Electrode Technology
1. Reduce Costs
Dry electrode technology saves the use of solvents, the cost of drying, recycling, and equipment floor space during the coating process, and also reduces the impact on the environment. According to Tesla's calculations, the overall goal of the 4680 battery that will all use dry electrodes in the future is to reduce manufacturing costs by 56%.
2. Improve Electrode Uniformity
Dry electrode technology does not use solvents during the mixing process, so it can achieve uniform distribution of the components of the electrode material and avoid electrode stratification caused by solvent evaporation.
3. Increase the Loading Capacity of Electrode Active Substances
Dry electrode technology can easily control the electrode thickness and the uniformity of thick electrodes without generating cracks. It has unique advantages in the preparation of thick electrodes and is suitable for the preparation of ultra-high loading electrodes.
4. Adapting to Sulfide Solid Electrolytes
Dry electrode technology avoids the use of organic/polar solvents and requires only a very small amount of adhesive during the preparation process, making it particularly suitable for the preparation of sulfide all-solid-state batteries. Since no solvents that react with sulfide solid electrolytes are used, the dry process helps to better prepare sulfide solid electrolyte membranes and maintain their high ionic conductivity.
Looking Ahead: Create a New Era of Dry Electrode
As a company that has successfully delivered dry electrode mixers for large-scale production, MIXACO has accumulated rich experience in the industrialization of dry electrodes.
Germany's MIXACO China Test Center joins hands with the national new energy elite team to promote the development of China's dry electrode to a new height. At present, the test center has accepted test appointments from more than 30 top teams across the country, and we will actively cooperate with every innovation of our customers. In the future, we will continue to uphold the development concept of innovation-driven, continuously improve our technical level, and strive to contribute more to the development of the global new energy industry.
Let us look forward to Taogent and MIXACO bringing more breakthroughs and achievements to everyone in this field. Welcome a new era in dry electrode technology together.
