More About the Webinar

Next-generation Li-ion batteries must combine high energy density with long cycle life. Thin, conformal coatings on cathode and anode materials can enhance capacity retention and stability by acting as artificial SEI and CEI layers, protecting the electrode electrolyte interfaces. Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is ideally suited for such coatings, offering precise control of film thickness and composition with excellent conformality on complex, porous electrode surfaces. As an example, LiF has emerged as a promising SEI component due to its chemical robustness and wide electrochemical stability window. 

SparkNano has developed a plasma-enhanced spatial ALD process using a new lithium precursor to deposit pure, crystalline LiF at 100–200 °C - compatible with Li metal anodes and other sensitive substrates. Applying this coating to Li-ion anodes has demonstrated up to a 10% improvement in capacity retention. To meet the productivity demands of battery manufacturing, we developed the SparkNano Omega™ Roll-to-Roll (R2R) spatial ALD tool for industrial-scale production. SparkNano Omega™ enables web speeds up to 100 m/min and widths up to 1.5 m, making ALD coatings feasible for large-scale Li-ion battery fabrication. In this webinar, we will showcase how spatial ALD enhances Li-ion battery performance and demonstrate the scalability of R2R spatial ALD to industrial manufacturing levels.
