Tape casting silicon slurry onto a current collector minimizes anisotropic expansion to maintain electrical contact during cycling.
Peripheral grooves on a battery separator core allow trapped air to escape, preventing misalignment of wound layers and reducing production defects.
A folding apparatus adjusts a rotary shaft position to maintain uniform web tension during electrode assembly winding.
Sequential pressure application with a restraining member minimizes warpage caused by reaction forces after pressure cancellation.
An integrated cooling system within the retaining device prevents overheating of lithium-ion cells and hardware, ensuring safe operation without damage.
