Existing battery manufacturing solutions limit throughput, efficiency and cell performance. They can't keep up with the rising demand and requirements for better, cost-effective batteries.
8inks offers a patented multi-layer curtain coating technology to battery makers and OEMs. It enables simultaneous depositing of multiple (+8) layers in one pass at 10X coating speed (up to 500 m/min). Benefits for customers include:
1) Scalability & cost (30% cost savings for large scale production)
2) Cell design: improve cell performance (50%) by thin (2-200µm) and multi-layer capability.
3) Versatility: material and application agnostic hightech platform. Examples include solid electrolytes, primers gradient cathodes, anodes or coating multiple functional layers in 1 step.
