Dürr Develops X.Cellify DC Dry Electrode Coating System for Enhanced Battery Manufacturing

Dürr has introduced a new technology in battery manufacturing, named X.Cellify DC, which represents a significant advancement in the production of lithium-ion batteries. This innovative dry electrode coating process forms a free-standing film from active battery material that remains recyclable until it is laminated onto the collector foil. According to Dürr, this technique not only reduces waste but also enhances the efficiency and sustainability of battery manufacturing. The conventional method for producing battery electrodes involves wet coating processes where slurry is applied to metal foils and dried in energy-intensive ovens. The X.Cellify DC system replaces these with a solvent-free approach using dry powder mixtures, which are pressed into films via the Activated Dry Electrode pr...
