Will the scale of battery manufacturing data continue to grow?

With the continuous expansion of lithium-ion battery manufacturing capacity, we believe that the scale of battery manufacturing data will continue to grow. Increasingly, more process optimization methods based on battery manufacturing data will be developed and applied to battery production chains.

What is the current status of data and applications in battery manufacturing?

2. The current status of data and applications in battery manufacturing Battery manufacturing generates data of multiple types and dimensions from front-end electrode manufacturing to mid-section cell assembly, and finally to back-end cell finishing.

Do battery demand forecasts underestimate the market size?

Just as analysts tend to underestimate the amount of energy generated from renewable sources, battery demand forecasts typically underestimate the market size and are regularly corrected upwards.

What is the value chain depth and concentration of the battery industry?

Value chain depth and concentration of the battery industry vary by country (Exhibit 16). While China has many mature segments, cell suppliers are increasingly announcing capacity expansion in Europe, the United States, and other major markets, to be closer to car manufacturers.

Does micro-level manufacturing affect the energy density of EV batteries?

Besides the cell manufacturing, “macro”-level manufacturing from cell to battery system could affect the final energy density and the total cost, especially for the EV battery system. The energy density of the EV battery system increased from less than 100 to ∼200 Wh/kg during the past decade (Löbberding et al., 2020).

What are the manufacturing data of lithium-ion batteries?

The manufacturing data of lithium-ion batteries comprises the process parameters for each manufacturing step, the detection data collected at various stages of production, and the performance parameters of the battery [25, 26].
