Application Notes
|
- Pic.1 and 2 show coated cathode and anode for Li-Ion batteries. Please click here to see how to
- It is recommended to operate the coater under a fume hood. (Click Pic.3 for detail.)
- May need a vacuum mixer to remove air bubbles inside slurry to make uniform coatings (Click Pic.4 )
- You may need a Slurry Viscosity Tester to make coatings consistent (Click Pic.5 for detail.)
- You may need a Dry oven to dry the films and remove the binder after coating. (Click Pic.6 for detail.)
