However, there are several challenges associated with the use of primary batteries. These include single use, costly materials, and environmental concerns. For instance, single use primary batteries generate large quantities of unrecyclable waste materials and toxic materials.
Since battery cells cannot be potted under vacuum, it is important to have a dispensing process that is optimally developed for the component and the potting material used. Ideally, this is determined in advance in lab trials at the Technology Center before it is applied to the series production machine.
A major trend is to replace critical elements in the battery by more sustainable solutions, while still improving the properties of the battery. In general, the following development trends can be noticed: • Replacement of critical elements in the cathode by more sustainable elements with a higher natural abundancy.
All in all, modern battery manufacturing processes should emphasize in pursuing the following goals: – Accelerate the development of new cell designs in terms of performance, efficiency, and sustainability.
Even the progress is sluggish, under the incentives of national governments, researches on the design of advanced materials, the fabrication of new electrodes, the optimization of battery engineering etc. have never been ceasing, trying to push the boundaries of energy density, power density, cycle life, cost and safety.
An increased volume of battery production will notably affect the environment due to raw material processing and generation of secondary streams . Currently in the European Union, only 50 wt% of lithium-ion batteries is required to be recycled based on the directive 2006/66/EC .
