Electrode To Cell Traceability - Challenges & Methods Upstream variations, such as mass loading inconsistencies, can impact cell cycling stability. However, variations in batch slurry mixing and roll-to-roll electrode manufacturing are difficult to trace during downstream unit cell assembly.

CYCLING INSTABILITY CAN BE CAUSED BY LOCALLY OUT-OF-SPEC LOADING & N/P RATIO In-spec N/P ratio Out-of-spec N/P ratio

Current Method: Batch-level (ex. total slurry viscosity, composition) and roll-to-roll level (ex. mean mass loading, thickness) aggregate quality metrics are tied to child cells; localized traceability is lost. Being Developed: Periodic data matrix codes (DMCs) that are laser-marked on electrode rolls encode localized quality metrics that can be parsed during cell assembly. This improves the resolution of loading & N/P traceability from roll-basis to individual cells. SLURRY MIXING BATCH PROCESS
