Dry electrode technology is an eco-friendly and high-efficiency electrode manufacturing method that eliminates the solvent use and drying steps required in the existing wet process. This method significantly reduces manufacturing cost and energy consumption, increases process efficiency and factory space utilization, and also has very little environmental load as there is no emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The dry process is easy to implement high loading (thick film) electrodes and high energy density, and has a core advantage that material properties can be optimized without the problem of distribution unevenness of conductive materials and binders in thick electrodes.
This column briefly deals with the manufacturing process, core principles, and major patents and application cases of Tesla, the main player of dry technology.
