New developments in slot-die patch coating set to change the scope of Li-ion battery making
By Scott Zwierlein, coating process engineer, Delta ModTech Roll-to-roll slot-die is becoming the industry standard for coating battery electrodes. Not only can slot-die achieve amazingly thin, wet coatings of less than 2 microns; it yields little to no waste and provides better uniformity and precision compared to other coating methods. But with the growing dominance of the … [Read more...] about New developments in slot-die patch coating set to change the scope of Li-ion battery making
