Conclusive summary and perspective Lithium-ion batteries are considered to remain the battery technology of choice for the near-to mid-term future and it is anticipated that significant to substantial further improvement is possible.
Nonetheless, lithium-ion batteries are nowadays the technology of choice for essentially every application – despite the extensive research efforts invested on and potential advantages of other technologies, such as sodium-ion batteries [, , ] or redox-flow batteries [10, 11], for particular applications.
The benefit of the process is that typical lithium-ion battery manufacturing speed (target: 80 m/min) can be achieved, and the amount of lithium deposited can be well controlled. Additionally, as the lithium powder is stabilized via a slurry, its reactivity is reduced.
1. Introduction Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) attract considerable interest as an energy storage solution in various applications, including e-mobility, stationary, household tools and consumer electronics, thanks to their high energy, power density values and long cycle life .
However, there are still key obstacles that must be overcome in order to further improve the production technology of LIBs, such as reducing production energy consumption and the cost of raw materials, improving energy density, and increasing the lifespan of batteries .
