Optimising Electrode Quality: Controlling Air in Battery Slurries for Superior Coating Performance

Date delivered: 11th February 2026

Hosted by:

Dr Helen Walker

Senior Simulation Engineer

Webinar description

Dr Helen Walker from UKBIC shares some of the insights into UKBIC’s new white paper: Optimising Electrode Quality: Controlling Air in Battery Slurries for Superior Coating Performance, created from real life experiences and lessons learned at the UK's only open access battery development facility.


This webinar covers how we have developed models to predict degassing behaviour in slurries, provides an outline of the tools and methodologies developed to understand the underlying physics, sets out the modifications made to mitigate air entrainment, and identifies the best practices established to improve manufacturing yield and product quality during battery manufacturing.


Dr Walker has produced a more detailed whitepaper around the topic, which is available to download here.
