Investigation of Drying Curves of Lithium‐Ion Battery Electrodes with a New Gravimetrical Double Side Batch Dryer Concept Including Setup Characterization and Model Simulations

Herein, an experimental setup comprised of a stationary convection dryer (Comb Nozzle Dryer) supplemented by a measurement for gravimetric drying curves is introduced. The drying process of anodes for lithium‐ion batteries is experimentally investigated and compared to modeling results, showing very good agreement for the investigated films. Heat transfer coefficients of the issued impinging nozzles are characterized and measured quantitatively and are used for the drying simulation of the gravimetric drying experiments. In situ temperature changes in the films are measured and presented using an infrared camera setup.
