The increase in battery demand drives the demand for critical materials. In 2022, lithium demand exceeded supply (as in 2021) despite the 180% increase in production since 2017. In 2022, about 60% of lithium, 30% of cobalt and 10% of nickel demand was for EV batteries. Just five years earlier, in 2017, these shares were. . In 2022, lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) remained the dominant battery chemistry with a market share of 60%, followed by lithium iron phosphate (LFP) with a share of just. . With regards to anodes, a number of chemistry changes have the potential to improve energy density (watt-hour per kilogram, or Wh/kg). For example, silicon can be used to replace all or some of the graphite in the anode in. [pdf]

In lithium-ion battery manufacturing, wetting of active materials is a time-critical process. Consequently, the impact of possible process chain extensions such as lamination needs to be explored to potentially improve the efficiency of the electrode and separator stacking process in battery cell manufacturing.
The lamination technique is a simple and easy-to-apply technology, which simplifies the stacking process by reducing the number of components. The lamination process enables fast assembly speeds up to 100 m/min and therefore lowers the costs of the assembly process.
The fast charge and discharge capability of lithium-ion batteries is improved by applying a lamination step during cell assembly. Electrode sheets and separator are laminated into one stack which improves the electrochemical performance as well as the stack assembly process.
Based on the multifunctionality of metal sheets (outstanding electrical conductivity and high impact resistance), multifunctional fiber metal laminated structural batteries have been developed through incorporating pouch-free solid state energy storage units into fiber laminates, which can still power a LED when subjected to 30 J impact energy.
In this study, we have reported for the first time a fiber metal laminated structural battery (FMLSB) based on high electrical conductivity and impact resistance of metal which combines the advantages of fiber metal laminates and solid state batteries.
Winding and lamination technologies are typically used as state-of-the-art technologies in industrial LIB production lines. The lamination technique is a simple and easy-to-apply technology, which simplifies the stacking process by reducing the number of components.
