To qualify an automated defect detection for battery electrode production as well as to gain as much insight as possible into the processes leading to these defects and their influence on electrode performance, the best parameters for the detection as well as a good defect categorization must be developed.
In order to identify electrode coating defects, an automated optical defect detection system (type ISRA Vision SMASH) was used. This system consists of two LED arrays and two line scan cameras with 8192 pixels each to inspect the entire coating width with a real pixel size of 35 µm × 37.5 µm.
In experiments using two different implementations of the proposed system architecture, we have obtained results that show that common defects occurring in the coating process of battery electrodes can be visualized clearly, as can be seen in the presented qualitative data on a data set of defective electrodes.
Defects introduced in the production of electrodes can lead to degraded performance and, more importantly, to short circuits in final cells, which is highly safety-critical. In this paper, we propose an inspection system architecture that can detect defects, such as missing coating, agglomerates, and pinholes on coated electrodes.
On the basis of experience with different electrode types and mixing, coating, and drying devices, we have defined eight defect classes for the battery electrode production. These eight classes are detected by the inline defect detection system on the basis of their brightness value compared with the surrounding electrode surface.
Battery electrode materials tend to be a form of lithium-based metal oxide and are often semiconductors. Field evaporation process models were developed mainly for metals, but in the application of APT to less conductive materials, the difference in regime must be accounted for.
