Numerous market analyses have shown that over the next five years, demand for lithium-ion batteries for everything from personal electric devices to grid-scale energy storage is expected to grow dramatically.

To meet this demand, battery manufacturing needs to be faster, cheaper, more dependable, less energy-intensive and less wasteful. A key part of lithium-ion battery manufacturing with significant room for improvement is the processing and fabrication of electrodes.

To facilitate advances in this area, researchers at the U.S...
