Slurry mixing involves combining active materials, conductive additives, binders, and solvents to create a homogeneous electrode slurry mixture. This slurry is then coated onto a current collector to form the electrode. Proper slurry mixing ensures optimal performance, consistency, and longevity of the batteries. | Slurry mixing involves combining active materials, conductive additives, binders, and solvents to create a homogeneous electrode slurry mixture<ref>Ayerbe, et al.

* '''Temperature''': Maintain a controlled temperature (typically 25-40°C) to ensure binder solubility and prevent solvent evaporation. | |||
* '''Mixing Speed''': Optimize mixing speed based on the slurry viscosity and desired particle size distribution. High speeds enhance dispersion but may cause excessive heating. | |||
* '''Mixing Time''': Ensure adequate mixing time to achieve homogeneity without over-mixing, which can cause degradation of materials. | |||
