Electrode Drying System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18033602 titled 'Electrode Drying System
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electrode drying system for drying a solvent in an electrode active material slurry on an electrode sheet. The system includes a drying oven, an air supply member, and a ventilation member.
- The drying oven is designed to dry the solvent in the electrode active material slurry on an electrode sheet.
- The air supply member supplies air to the drying oven.
- The ventilation member discharges air from the drying oven.
- Part of the discharged air is reintroduced into the air supply member.
Potential Applications:
- This electrode drying system can be used in the manufacturing of various types of batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries or fuel cells.
- It can also be applied in the production of supercapacitors or other energy storage devices that require electrode drying.
Problems Solved:
- The electrode drying system solves the problem of efficiently drying the solvent in an electrode active material slurry on an electrode sheet.
- It ensures uniform drying and prevents the formation of defects or inconsistencies in the electrode.
Benefits:
- The system improves the drying process by recycling part of the discharged air, reducing energy consumption.
- It enhances the overall efficiency of the electrode drying process, leading to cost savings in battery manufacturing.
- The system helps to maintain the quality and performance of the electrodes, resulting in improved battery performance and reliability.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electrode drying system includes a drying oven configured to dry a solvent in an electrode active material slurry on an electrode sheet in which the electrode active material slurry is applied to a current collector, an air supply member configured to supply air to the drying oven, and a ventilation member configured to discharge air from the drying oven. At least part of the air discharged from the ventilation member is introduced into the air supply member again.
