Glovebox for lithium-ion battery material processing
Processing lithium-ion battery materials necessitates a controlled environment to protect sensitive materials from contamination and oxidation. Maintaining low moisture and oxygen levels is crucial for producing high-quality cathode and anode materials.
Ensure precise anode and cathode mixing
The Energy 11 PROTECT glovebox solution by Thermo Fisher Scientific addresses these challenges by providing a controlled argon atmosphere with less than 1 ppm O2 and H2O levels maintained by a 1-10 mbar overpressure. Twin-screw extrusion capabilities enable homogeneous mixing and processing of battery materials such as cathode and anode slurry, as well as separator films. The system supports various feeding options for solids and liquids, controlled via an integrated control panel, minimizing batch variations. Its components can be disassembled easily for thorough cleaning, reducing cross-contamination risks. Optional features include nitrogen removal and a solvent filter for NMP removal.
