Integration of safety and sustainability criteria into early design stages of battery cell manufacturing machinery.

ABSTRACT: There is currently a lack of guidance on implementing safety and sustainability at early design stages of battery cell manufacturing machinery. In this work, key European regulatory requirements for battery manufacturing and relevant Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) approaches to lithium-ion battery (LIB) cell production and machinery were explored. Considering peer-reviewed publications and European projects, it was found that the existing literature on the implementation of the SSbD criteria in battery production is still scarce, particularly concerning machinery design. In our paper, data on the current design principles were collected from two battery machinery manufacturers covering, for the first time, the main processes for LIB electrode production (mixing, coating, drying and
