Stacking
Building a cell from individual electrode sheets interleaved with separator, either sheet by sheet or by folding a continuous separator in a zigzag. It uses the volume of a rectangular case better than winding but is slower and more exacting. [1]
- Also called
- Z-folding, lamination
Example
Manufacturing: an example situation
An electrode can meet coating mass targets but fail adhesion or moisture checks later.
Read Stacking alongside Notching in this context. Cutting the tab shape and the electrode sheet outline from the slit strip, mechanically or by laser, before stacking. Laser notching has no tool wear but must avoid heat damage at the edge.
Use in Lemonergy
Place operations and quality checks in process order.
This is a reference concept. No executable Lemonergy block has been verified for this term.
