Circular Battery Cell Production: Understanding the Relationships between Process, Quality and Energy Efficiency
Interactive Hands-on Seminar at Die Lernfabrik
How are materials, process parameters, electrode structure, and cell properties interrelated in battery cell production and recycling? How do these interactions influence sustainability aspects such as material and energy consumption? In this interactive seminar, participants will explore selected equipment and processes of circular battery cell production. They will interpret the effects of parameter variations, analyze typical energy profiles, and evaluate trade-offs between process stability, quality, and energy efficiency. The seminar also addresses measures for reducing energy consumption without compromising electrode and cell quality. The seminar combines practical hands-on activities with short theoretical inputs covering the entire circular battery cell production process. The learning and experimentation environment is „Die Lernfabrik“ at TU Braunschweig with our partner Fraunhofer IST, where the key process steps of electrode manufacturing, cell assembly, cell finalization, and recycling are represented. To prepare for the seminar, e-learning modules will be provided via our online learning platform.
Learning Objectives
After completing the seminar, participants will be able to:
…explain the process chain of battery cell production in a structured manner and understand the interrelationships between the individual process steps,
…systematically analyze the energy profiles of selected production facilities,
…interpret the influence of different process parameters on energy and material consumption,
…evaluate the relationships between process parameters, electrode structure, cell properties, and energy demand,
…identify measures that enable sustainability-oriented process improvements without compromising quality.
