The new manufacturing technologies such as high-efficiency mixing, solvent-free deposition, and fast formation could be the key to achieve this target. Besides the upgrading of battery materials, the potential of increasing the energy density from the manufacturing end starts to make an impact.
Developments in different battery chemistries and cell formats play a vital role in the final performance of the batteries found in the market. However, battery manufacturing process steps and their product quality are also important parameters affecting the final products’ operational lifetime and durability.

Therefore, more collaboration between academic researchers and battery manufacturers could help the development of battery systems. Recycling becomes an inevitable topic with the surging of LIB manufacturing capacity.
Fourth, owing to large investments in battery production infrastructure, research and development, the resulting technology improvements and techno-economic effects promise a reduction in energy consumption per produced cell energy by two-thirds until 2040, compared with the present technology and know-how level.
All other steps consumed less than 2 kWh/kWh of battery cell capacity. The total amount of energy consumed during battery cell production was 41.48 kWh/kWh of battery cell capacity produced. Of this demand, 52% (21.38 kWh/kWh of battery cell capacity) was required as natural gas for drying and the drying rooms.
