In summary, the quality of the production of a lithium-ion battery cell is ensured by monitoring numerous parameters along the process chain. In series production, the approach is to measure only as many parameters as necessary to ensure the required product quality. The systematic application of quality management methods enables this approach.
Production steps in lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing summarizing electrode manufacturing, cell assembly and cell finishing (formation) based on prismatic cell format. Electrode manufacturing starts with the reception of the materials in a dry room (environment with controlled humidity, temperature, and pressure).
The sequential production process for manufacturing conventional lithium-ion battery cells can be divided into three major steps 1.) electrode production, 2.) cell assembly and 3.) cell finishing (Fig. 1). The electrode production describes the manufacture of the basic electrochemically active battery components, the anode and cathode.
Indeed, since the commercialization of lithium-ion battery technology in 1991 7, 8, several high-profile safety events (Fig. 1a) have occurred in sectors such as consumer electronics, electric micromobility, EVs, aviation, and medical devices 9, 10. One infamous EV safety case required a USD $1.9B fleetwide recall 11, 12.
In the next sections, the process of industrialization from lab to pilot to series production is explained and the possibilities and status of the use of artificial intelligence in battery cell
