“…This stems especially from the different production rates. Five of the investigated studies refer to an industrial cell production (Dai et al, 2019;Dunn et al, 2015;Ellingsen et al, 2014;Kim et al, 2016;Pettinger and Dong, 2017), two to a pilot scale production (Thomitzek et al, 2019a(Thomitzek et al, , 2019b and one to data from a laboratory scale production (Li et al, 2014). Four of the studies do not give explicit information about the production volume (Majeau-Bettez et al, 2011;McManus, 2012;Notter et al, 2010;Zackrisson et al, 2010).…”

“…Hence, there is a lack of lab scale studies on the energy demand of LIB cell production on a laboratory level. However, due to the increased demand for batteries, the focus on battery cell production is rising (Emilsson and Dahllö f, 2019), and more detailed data are provided in studies without LCA references by Thomitzek et al (2019a), Pettinger and Dong (2017), and . Due to the more extensive information provided on the individual manufacturing processes, these studies are analyzed in more detail below.…”

“…It is clear that reducing the energy required for the production of a battery (or any other technical device) would have a positive effect on its environmental sustainability (Thomitzek et al, 2019a(Thomitzek et al, , 2019b). Yet this requires detailed knowledge of the energy demand of LIB production ranging from a lab to industrial scale.…”

“…Yet this requires detailed knowledge of the energy demand of LIB production ranging from a lab to industrial scale. The industrial scale has been discussed in several studies (Davidsson Kurland, 2019;Ellingsen et al, 2014;Peters et al, 2017;Thomitzek et al, 2019aThomitzek et al, , 2019b, most recently in the review by Emilsson and Dahllö f (2019). However, the production of LIBs is very complex, and access to data from industrial manufacturers is limited (Dai et al, 2019;Davidsson Kurland, 2019;Ellingsen et al, 2014;Peters et al, 2017;.…”

“…The batteries examined in the literature vary greatly in their characteristics, such as size, storage capacity, lifetime, and cell type. Furthermore, the studies have different scope and system boundaries and different assumptions for certain parameters and production processes (Peters et al, 2017;Thomitzek et al, 2019a). In addition, only a few studies provide detailed and comprehensible information about battery cell production, which is repeatedly declared to be the production step with the highest energy demand and a high environmental impact (Dai et al, 2019;Davidsson Kurland, 2019;Emilsson and Dahllö f, 2019;.…”

Energy flow analysis of laboratory scale lithium-ion battery cell production

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been proven as an enabling technology for consumer electronics, electro mobility, and stationary storage systems, and the steadily increasing demand for LIBs raises new challenges regarding their sustainability. The rising demand for comprehensive assessments of this technology's environmental impacts requires the identification of energy and materials consumed for its production, on lab to industrial scale. There are no studies available that provide a detailed picture of lab scale cell production, and only a few studies provide detailed analysis of the actual consumption, with large deviations. Thus, the present work provides an analysis of the energy flows for the production of an LIB cell. The analyzed energy requirements of individual production steps were determined by measurements conducted on a laboratory scale lithium-ion cell production and displayed in a transparent and traceable manner. For the comparison with literature values a distinction is made between the different production scales.

As the demand for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) continuously grows, the necessity to improve their efficiency/performance also grows. For this reason, optimization of the individual production steps is critical. Calendering is a crucial production step whereby electrode coatings are compacted to targeted densities. This process affects the porosity, adhesion, thickness, wettability, and charge transport properties of the electrodes, as well as the homogeneity of the coatings. Optimal calendered electrodes improve volumetric energy density, cyclic stability, and rate capability of the cells and also enhance the structural stability of the active material, which affects electrode safety and polarization. This article outlines the fundamental processes and mechanisms, as well as how modeling, simulation, and tomography can be used to optimize these processes. Additionally, the influence of calendering on a wide range of anode and cathode active materials is discussed. This review serves to give a deeper understanding into the calendering process‐structure‐performance relationships, and how they can be optimized to improve the performance of LIBs.

Mit einem solchen ganzheitlichen Designansatz ist es wahrscheinlicher,dass neue Produkte die Anforderungen der Kreislaufwirtschaft erfüllen, als wenn traditionelle Entwicklungsstrategien verfolgt werden. Am Beispiel von Katalysatoren fürd ie Wasserelektrolyse präsentieren wir eine auf experimentellen Daten basierende Modellierungsmethode zur ganzheitlichen Bewertung von Prozessen.
