Improving Li-ion Cell Formation Throughput

Li-ion cell manufacturers, including gigafactories, must keep a check on cost and time pressures. Cell formation and aging are the most time-consuming phases of the cell production process. The longer the cells take up manufacturing floor space, the more they add to production costs while delaying time to market. This paper discusses innovative methods at the cell formation and aging stages to improve manufacturing throughput and reduce both production time and cost.
