Battery Technology
MBRAUN offers specialized technology and equipment that are integral to the entire battery value chain, particularly for lithium-ion (LIB) and advanced solid-state batteries (ASSB). The company’s expertise supports all stages, from fundamental research and development to pilot plants and mass production. MBRAUN provides mini-environment enclosures that isolate critical production zones, improving battery cell quality and reducing manufacturing costs by creating ultra-clean atmospheres free from dust, moisture, and oxygen, which are essential for processing sensitive battery chemistries.
Key equipment includes high-speed electrolyte filling systems (ELFI) designed for automated, vacuum- and inert-atmosphere-compatible filling of pouch and prismatic cells. They also provide drying ovens, transport systems, and solvent removal solutions that support each step of cell assembly. For next-generation solid-state batteries, MBRAUN supplies in-house developed vacuum coating systems enabling high-rate lithium deposition and integrated or partner-based technologies for precise electrode stacking and slot-die coating under inert conditions. These turnkey systems are designed to optimize tact time, reliability, and reproducibility, critical for scaling to industrial mass production of both lithium-ion and all-solid-state batteries.
Recent Projects
A notable collaboration with Sungkyunkwan University’s Advanced Institute of Nano-Technology in South Korea supports the development of lead-free, eco-friendly perovskite solar cells, demonstrating efficiencies up to 22.3% with innovative fabrication approaches. These projects underscore MBRAUN’s commitment to advancing sustainable energy device manufacturing through collaborative research and specialized equipment.
