Manufacturing Process Map - Overview Mixing

Cathode and anode slurries are made

Coating & Drying Slurries are coated onto the current collector

Cell Capacity

Cylindrical or Wound Prismatic Winding - components are wound into a jelly roll Electrolyte is injected

Prismatic: 1-200+ Ah Pouch: 1-100+ Ah 2170: 3-6 Ah 4680: 15-25 Ah

Physical Inspection CT and/or X-Ray

Calendering Electrodes are densified

Formation

Batteries are charged and discharged

CAPEX* $55-150 million/GWh

Aging

Electrochemical performance is monitored

SCRAP (RAMP UP)

Degassing

Gas in the battery is removed (pouch & prismatic only)

Slitting & Notching

Electrical Inspection

Electrodes are cut into simulated segments for stacked cells or into pancake rolls for wound cells

OCV, ACIR, and capacity (often partial-cap tests)

Stacked Pouch or Prismatic Components are laminated & stacked Electrolyte is injected

Scrap remains high in ramp-up, mainly due to electrode quality. See QC/analytics slides for example detection points & solutions. *CAPEX reflects tooling only. The higher end of the range is driven by the fact that most equipment is sourced from Asia and is subject to significant import tariffs.
