Background:

Lamination is crucial for efficient lithium-ion battery (Li-ion) production, offering fast line speeds by adhering separators to electrodes.
Current lamination technology is limited to battery components utilizing thermoplastic binders, excluding many advanced formulations.
Overcoming binder limitations is essential for next-generation Li-ion cell manufacturing.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the feasibility of Electrospinning as a viable method for advanced and rapid Li-ion cell production.
To overcome the limitations of conventional lamination for non-thermoplastic battery materials.
To demonstrate the successful adhesion of electrospun materials to battery electrodes.

Main Methods:

Electrospinning of beaded polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer nanofibers onto a fiber-reinforced, inorganic-filled separator.
Lamination of the modified separator onto a NMC111-cathode using a specific temperature profile (110/110/120°C).
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis to evaluate the adhesive behavior and successful lamination.

Main Results:

Successful adhesion of the electrospun PVDF nanofibers to the separator was achieved.
The modified separator demonstrated successful lamination onto the NMC111-cathode.
SEM imaging confirmed the adhesive bonding between the polymer nanofibers and the electrode surface.

Conclusions:

Electrospinning presents a feasible method to enhance Li-ion battery production processes.
This technique overcomes the material constraints of traditional lamination, enabling wider applicability.
The study confirms the potential of Electrospinning for advanced, fast-track Li-ion cell manufacturing.
