Results of this paper contribute to the design and operation of battery cell manufacturing plants.
The next step in producing battery cells involves filling the cell assemblies with the electrolyte solution. This solution is most commonly a liquid solution of lithium salts and an organic solvent. The addition of the electrolyte solution permits the free movement of ions between the anode and cathode portions of the battery cell.
For prismatic battery cell assembly, the electrode subassemblies are stacked carefully with alternating separator materials required to prevent short-circuiting of the cells. The stacked subassemblies are then inserted into cell casings made from either steel, plastic, or ceramic to provide robust protection to the electrical components.
In most EV battery cell manufacturing, sealing is performed under a vacuum to remove air bubbles from the solution. The formation process involves carefully charging and discharging the cells in a controlled fashion. This process creates a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer that helps ensure battery longevity and stability.
