How much does electrode calendaring really effect fast charging!!
🔋 How much does electrode calendering really affect fast charging?
When discussing fast charging, we often focus on new materials. But what if one of the most important levers is actually a manufacturing process?

👉 The “optimal” degree of calendering is therefore not universal. It depends on the complete cell design:
✔️ Active material chmstry
✔️ Electrode loading & thickns
✔️ Prtcle size distribution
✔️ Binder and conductive additive network
✔️ Electrolyte formulation
✔️ Temp and C-rate

As we push toward faster charging, the challenge may not simply be to make electrodes denser—but to engineer the right balance between ionic and electronic transport.
📌 Question for the battery community:
If you could optimize only one parameter for high-rate performance

Top 5 news of the week!
Quality batteries are built by stable processes—not by final inspection.
The strongest manufacturing teams combine process knowledge, data analysis, root cause investigation, and continuous improvement to drive performance.
What do you think is the most challenging step?

Australian scientists just built the world’s first quantum battery. And it breaks a rule we thought was physics. 🧵

The lead scientist’s goal: charge your EV faster than filling a petrol tank. Or charge your phone wirelessly from across the room. Not tomorrow. But this prototype proves it’s not fiction either.

Right now the battery stores billionths of an electron-volt. Enough to power absolutely nothing yet. But the physics is confirmed. The rules are broken. The race starts now.

Lidl Germany just dropped a home solar battery for only €299 — and it sold out in stores in just 3 days! It’s called the Tronic, sold under Lidl’s own brand, and it packs 2.24 kWh of capacity. #germany

One thing battery prototyping teaches you quickly: dust is not “just dust.”
A tiny particle can increase resistance, create defects, affect cycle life, or even trigger failure later.
Making one good cell is easy.
Keeping contaminants out consistently is the real challenge.
One thing I underestimated in battery prototyping:
tiny process inconsencies become huge performance differences later.
Even slight variation in pressure, drying, or alignment can cmpltly change results.
Lab-scale success is easy.
Repeatability is the hard part.
Do you agree?
