Number: MER00049EE At the Mercedes-Benz Untertürkheim site, battery cells with different cell chemicals are being researched to drive innovative mobility solutions. In addition to the materials used, their processing is a decisive factor for the quality and performance of lithium-ion electrodes. The properties of the slurries and of the electrodes produced therefrom can be influenced by various material, environmental and process parameters. In particular, chemical interactions as well as changes in the microstructure and the interface or surface chemistry play an important role. It is therefore important to systematically examine possible influencing variables along the entire production chain and to derive appropriate process boundaries. In the context of this thesis, environmental influences on NMP-based slurries and their further processing to electrodes are to be investigated. With the aid of physical and electrochemical investigations of the slurries, electrodes and cells, the effects along the process chain are systematically detected and possible underlying chemical, microstructural and interface-related mechanisms are explained. On this basis, basic findings for product and process development are to be derived. These challenges include: Literature research on influences on NMP-based slurries and materials Creation of a suitable experimental plan to investigate the influences on physical and electrochemical properties Independent formulation and production of slurries and their further processing to electrodes and cells Physical and electrochemical characterization of the produced slurries, electrodes and cells Scientific evaluation and discussion of experimentally determined data Documentation of results in a final paper and presentation of results in a lecture The activity can begin from February 2027. The final topics will be discussed with the university, you and us.
