The whole chain
Every step from slurry to a coated electrode
Rheology, mixing, transport, die and coating flows, and microstructure analysis across the entire electrode slurry coating chain.
Overview
Where our work sits in the coating chain
Subtopic 01
Rheological Properties
Model fluids and thixotropy models capturing the time-dependent rheology of battery slurries.
Subtopic 02
Mixing
Quantifying mixing quality of complex fluids and designing continuous blade coating processes.
Subtopic 03
Transportation
Non-Newtonian pulsatile flow analysis and data-driven classification of slurry transport.
Subtopic 04
Die Manifold Flows
Inverse design of coating die manifolds and pressure analysis for battery slurry coating.
Subtopic 05
Coating Flows
Slot and patch coating flows — operating windows, die-lip and manifold design, and the computation and visualization behind them.
Subtopic 06
Microstructure Analysis
3D reconstruction and property analysis of electrode microstructures from serial images.
