Aligned Graphite Technology has been designed to improve the performance of the negative electrode in a lithium-ion battery, enabling fast-charging of batteries. Jagenberg’s electrode coating lines equipped with Aligned Graphite Technology allow the production of ultra-low resistance negative electrodes with controlled graphite particle orientation. These electrodes are a drop-in replacement for next-generation, fast-charging lithium-ion batteries. The production lines can be supplied as turnkey equipment fully integrated into the state-of-the-art GWh-battery production environment.
The mass adoption of EVs has led to a huge demand for low-cost, high-performance lithium-ion batteries. Cell manufacturers are forced to scale up quickly to meet production targets and leverage economies of scale. In parallel, their customers, EV manufacturers, require significantly faster-charging cells. This drives demand for improvement both in battery technology as well as production capabilities, all while ensuring full compatibility with the established GWh-production standards and supply chains.
The new technology has been designed for the mass production of fast-charging lithium-ion batteries. The partners claim that by improving the microstructure of negative electrodes, it can reduce the charging time of lithium-ion batteries by up 50 percent.
