ENNOVI, a mobility electrification solutions partner, has introduced an adhesive-free lamination technology that leverages advanced techniques to achieve stronger, more sustainable cell contacting system (CCS) assemblies for various battery cell form factors, including prismatic, cylindrical, and pouch.
The new adhesive-free lamination technology positions the current collectors within the CCS between two insulation material foils. It bonds them with a specialized joining process but without the need for adhesive.
This process creates a tight pocket around the current collector to secure its position for enhanced structural integrity and provides appropriate insulation between each other to enhance the battery’s lifespan. It’s also ideal for diverse battery designs and well-suited for large CCS assemblies in various cell form factors.
Compared to conventional hot lamination, the new patent-pending process halves the insulation material cost, consumes less than 5% of process energy, and accelerates processing time by 80%, providing enhanced flexibility and manufacturing efficiency to global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
