Abstract
A system and methods for manufacturing a dry electrode for an energy storage device are disclosed. The system includes a first dry electrode material delivery system configured to deliver a dry electrode material, a first calendering roll, a second calendering roll, and a controller. The second calendering roll is configured to form a first nip between the first calendering roll and the second calendering roll. The first nip is configured to receive the dry electrode material from the first dry electrode material delivery system, and form a dry electrode film from the dry electrode material. The controller is configured to control a rotational velocity of the second calendering roll to be greater than a rotational velocity of the first calendering roll. The method may include providing a multi-roll calender system comprising a first calender roll, a second calender roll; rotating the first calendering roll at a first rotational velocity; rotating the second calendering roll at a second rotational velocity; providing a first dry electrode material to a first nip between the first calendering roll and the second calendering roll to form a dry electrode film. The second rotational velocity may be greater than the first rotational velocity.
