LG will reduce battery costs by 30% with dry coating technology

It will reduce costs by simplifying production

Dry coating technology is used by battery manufacturers in cathode and anode production It is being investigated as a replacement for the traditional wet process, which is more energy consuming and more expensive.

Tesla, which invested in this field by purchasing a startup called Maxwell in 2019, produces 4680 battery cells in its factory in Texas. succeeded in switching to a completely dry coating method in anode production. However, since the nature of the cathode material is more difficult to process with dry coating, it has not been passed yet.

Kim says that LG is ahead of its competitors in terms of dry coating technology and that it is possible to produce batteries with this technology. can reduce costs by 17% to 30% states. Previously, Volkswagen also talked about the technology and said that dry coating technology could reduce energy use by 30% and 50% savings in factory space can be achieved he said.

In traditional wet coating, chemicals are dissolved in solvents and drying chemicals at high temperatures in large ovens stages are included. In dry coating, significant money and energy savings are achieved since there is no need to use drying ovens and other equipment.
