Advances in Battery Cell Production

The production of battery cells requires a long chain of processes which traditionally belong to different disciplines such as chemical engineering, production engineering, and electrical engineering. Thus, a deep understanding of the entire process chain and the process interactions is mandatory, but also very challenging and requires intensive research. The processes considered in this special issue include coating and calendering as part of electrode production, as well as electrode stacking for cell production and formation as important cell conditioning steps.
