Project overview:
The LoCoTroP project involves the development of an innovative production technology for battery electrodes with a dry coating process. With equivalent electrochemical performance, this process results in a significant reduction of production costs, both through lower investment costs for the production equipment, higher throughput speeds and the elimination of solvents in operation. The latter as well as the considerable energy saving in the process by omission of the dryer operation by more than 90 % leads to a considerable saving of resources in the cell production, to the reduction of the environmental pollution and to simplified environmental legal approval procedures for battery factories.
