Multi-layer curtain coating for lithium ion batteries

Abstract :

A manufacturing platform that unlocks mass production of NextGen battery designs and materials. We reduce manufacturing costs by 30% and boost battery performance by leaving production constraints behind. We enable more freedom of design for battery architectures that are tailored for its application with material flexibility. 8inks is an ETH Zurich spin-off.
