Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the disclosure include an electrode calendering system having an electrode foil wrinkle remover band and a process for manufacturing electrodes using the same. An exemplary system includes a top roll press and a bottom roll press separated from the top roll press by a gap. The gap includes a distance selected to accommodate a current collector having a bare portion and a coated portion having thereon an active electrode material of a first thickness. The system further includes a wrinkle remover band having a second thickness selected, based on the first thickness, to evenly distribute stress across the bare portion and the coated portion of the current collector during a calendering process for forming a pressed electrode.
