Application of Nitrogen in Automotive Lithium Battery Manufacturers

Application of nitrogen in automotive lithium battery production

1. Nitrogen protection: During the production process of lithium batteries, especially in the preparation and assembly stages of cathode materials, it is necessary to prevent the materials from reacting with oxygen and moisture in the air. Nitrogen is usually used as an inert gas to replace oxygen in the air to prevent oxidation reactions and ensure the stability of battery cathode materials.

2. Inert atmosphere for production equipment: In some manufacturing processes, nitrogen is used to create an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation or other adverse reactions of materials. For example, during the battery assembly process, nitrogen is used to replace air, reducing the concentration of oxygen and moisture, and reducing oxidation reactions in the battery.

3. Sputter coating process: The production of lithium batteries usually involves the sputter coating process, which is a method of depositing thin films on the surface of battery pole pieces to improve performance. Nitrogen can be used to create a vacuum or inert atmosphere, ensuring stability and quality during the sputtering process.

Nitrogen baking of lithium battery cells

Nitrogen baking of lithium battery cells is a step in the lithium battery manufacturing process, which usually occurs during the cell packaging stage. The process involves using a nitrogen environment to bake battery cells to improve their quality and stability. Here are some key aspects:

1. Inert atmosphere: During the nitrogen baking process, the battery core is placed in an environment full of nitrogen. This nitrogen environment is to reduce the presence of oxygen, which may trigger some undesirable chemical reactions in the battery. The inertness of nitrogen ensures that chemicals in the cells do not react unnecessarily with oxygen during the baking process.

2. Removal of moisture: In nitrogen baking, the presence of moisture can also be reduced by controlling the humidity. Moisture can have a negative impact on battery performance and life, so nitrogen baking can effectively remove moisture from humid environments.

3. Improve the stability of the battery core: Nitrogen baking helps to improve the stability of the battery core and reduce unstable factors that may cause battery performance to decline. This is critical to the long life and high performance of lithium batteries.

Nitrogen baking of lithium battery cells is a process to create a low-oxygen, low-humidity environment during the manufacturing process to ensure battery quality and performance. This helps reduce oxidation and other adverse reactions in the battery and improves the stability and reliability of lithium batteries.
