Frequently Asked Questions about EV Battery Assembly and Manufacturing
Critical raw materials used in manufacturing Li-ion batteries (LIBs) include lithium, graphite, cobalt, and manganese. As electric vehicle deployments increase, Lithium EV battery production for vehicles is becoming an increasingly important source of demand.
Lithium battery component (or battery cell) manufacturing is done in sets of electrodes and then assembled into battery cells. To produce electricity, lithium EV batteries shuttle lithium ions internally from one layer, called the anode, to another, the cathode. The two are separated by yet another layer, the electrolyte.
Every generation of battery design – cylindrical, prismatic, polymer pouch, and now, solid state - challenges technical limits and demands more from battery assembly technology. Ultrasonic welding solutions reliably bond the thinner, more delicate metals and advanced hybrid films needed to build more energy-dense batteries.
A battery is made up of an anode, cathode, separator, electrolyte, and two current collectors (positive and negative). The anode and cathode store the lithium. The electrolyte carries positively charged lithium ions from the anode to the cathode and vice versa through the separator. The movement of the lithium ions creates free electrons in the anode which creates a charge at the positive current collector. The electrical current then flows from the current collector through a device being powered (cell phone, computer, etc.) to the negative current collector. The separator blocks the flow of electrons inside the battery.
While the battery is discharging and providing an electric current, the anode releases lithium ions to the cathode, generating a flow of electrons from one side to the other. When plugging in the device, the opposite happens: lithium ions are released by the cathode and received by the anode.
One of the biggest challenges when it comes to vehicles is balancing weight with fuel power. Researchers are changing key features of the lithium-ion battery to make an all-solid, or “solid-state,” version. They replace the liquid electrolyte in the middle with a thin, solid electrolyte that’s stable at a wide range of voltages and temperatures.
Emerson helps customers across some of the world’s most essential industries make measurable sustainability progress, and we stand poised to help others along the same journey.
