Negative electrode slurry solid-liquid mixing and dispersion system
The negative electrode slurry's key is balancing viscosity and dispersion. Process design that can be reproduced up to mass production.
Negative electrode slurry (graphite, Si-based) tends to have high solid content and high viscosity, making it a challenging material for mixing and dispersion. Issues such as clumping during powder addition, poor binder dispersion, mixing failures due to increased viscosity, and variations in coating properties are common, especially with Si-based materials, where the dispersion state directly affects battery performance and lifespan. Additionally, there are many cases where dispersion can be achieved in the research phase but cannot be reproduced during mass production. This system is designed to optimize the entire process from powder supply to dispersion and formulation, optimizing input conditions, dispersion energy, and fluid design. It achieves uniform dispersion even under high viscosity conditions and ensures reproducibility through consistent scale-up design from the lab to mass production. We propose the optimal process tailored to material properties and formulation conditions.
basic information
A solid-liquid mixing and dispersion system for negative electrode slurry that integrates powder supply, premixing, high-shear dispersion, circulation homogenization, and blending processes. The system optimizes the input order, shear conditions, residence time, and fluid design according to the particle size distribution, specific surface area, binder properties, solid concentration, and viscosity changes of graphite and Si-based materials. It supports inline continuous processing, circulation processing, and batch processing, enabling stable dispersion even under high viscosity conditions. In addition to selecting equipment including high-shear dispersion devices (such as IKA), it accommodates the construction of a line that includes powder supply, piping design, storage tanks, CIP, and data management. The design philosophy is consistent across lab machines, small machines, pilot systems, and mass production lines, ensuring reproducibility during scale-up.
