Front Cover: Advancements in Dry Electrode Technologies: Towards Sustainable and Efficient Battery Manufacturing (ChemElectroChem 17/2024)

Abstract

The front cover illustrates a comparison between the wet and dry electrode coating processes for Li-ion batteries. On the left side, the wet electrode coating process is depicted, requiring a lengthy drying process and generating toxic solvents. This is represented by a background of a heavily polluted city with smog and emissions. On the right side, the dry electrode coating process, which does not require drying or the use of solvents, is shown as eco-friendly. This is depicted by an electric vehicle equipped with batteries made using the dry process, maintaining a clean and green city environment.
