Licity® – the secret ingredient for Li-ion batteries

A precise slot die – the heart of the coating process

One of the challenges in the coating process is to generate a homogeneous film. This homogeneity stands and falls with the precision of the coating head. This is why BASF has constructed and built own slot dies, allowing to apply the film to the copper foil in an exceptionally precise manner.

Deep BASF knowhow enabling perfect equipment

"The centerpiece in our coating process is a curious block of solid metal - our slot die", explains Christian Brand, Senior Technical Manager Licity® at BASF.

"This customized slot die is a good example of BASF’s deep and profound knowhow. It has been developed and built by BASF engineers. It enables a very precise coating process, resulting in constant coat weight from the beginning to the end of the production run", explains Fatih Çetinel, Research Engineer Coating and Film Processing.

A future built upon electric mobility

A future built upon electric mobility

Strong and capable Lithium-ion batteries pave the way for a future less dependent on fossil energy. A future built upon electric mobility. In order to make that vision a reality we are working on battery technologies that improve key performance factors in Li-ion batteries such as charge capacity and low temperature behavior.

Higher capacity at low temperatures

Higher capacity at low temperatures

What is one of the most performance hindering factors in Lithium-ion batteries? If you ask us, it is capacity – especially at low temperatures and under constant use. That is why we are introducing Licity®: a new kind of battery binder solution that boosts battery performance across the board.

What makes a great anode binder solution?

What makes a great anode binder solution?

High Colloidal Stability. Check! 

Superb compatibility with co-binders (like CMC). Check!

Very good processability and coating behavior. Check!

​But we know that not every battery is made equal. Which is why we developed a new kind of anode binder that can be easily customized to meet a host of requirements.
