This mini-certificate explains how a lithium-ion cell can be designed, sized, and produced for a specific capacity and energy. The key steps in the selection and production of the main components of the cell, i.e. electrodes, separator, and electrolyte, are discussed. The slurry formulation, mixing, coating, drying, calendaring, cutting, stacking, electrolyte formulation/injection, sealing/packing, and formation cycles are detailed both in terms of machineries and the processing parameters.

Description
About this certificate:
In this certification, you will get a unique view into advanced battery labs and knowledge on each step of the cell design process. Specifically, you will explore the essential battery cell production equipment. You will be guided through the key steps of selecting and producing the main components of the cell, i.e. electrodes, separator, and electrolyte. The whole processing flow and assembly process will be explained to you in terms of machinery and the processing parameters.
This certificate empowers you to:
- Differentiate between cylindrical cells and prismatic cells as examples of lithium-ion battery geometries, and estimate the length or the number of electrode layers
- Apply concepts such as capacity, voltage, and energy for designing a lithium-ion battery
- Describe each step of production of a Li-ion battery cell
- Discuss the functions of the electrolyte and separator
