Simulation of coating processes for next gen lithium ion batteries
CFD modeling of electrode manufacturing for lithium ion batteries
Keywords: modelling, simulation, ANSYS, OpenFOAM, Fluent, fluid dynamics, electrochemistry, process engineering, lithium ion batteries, coating, CFD
A significant portion to achieve the cost target for lithium ion batteries (125$/kWh) is expected to come from electrode manufacturing. LIB electrodes are typically produced by coating a slurry onto metal foils with a technique called slot-die coating. This thesis will build a physical model of the coating process. The objective is to identify coating parameters (speed, viscosity, materials) for next generation lithium ion batteries.
