Technical paper – Coupling Slurry Characterisation with CFD Modelling as Best Practice for Reducing Slot-Die Coating Defects in Electrode Scale-Up

UKBIC Technology Team • July 2, 2026

About this white paper

At UKBIC, we've been exploring a predictive approach to electrode manufacturing to reduce defects in scale-up.


This technical paper demonstrates how combining detailed slurry characterisation with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling can significantly reduce coating defects, accelerate process optimisation, and improve confidence during eletrode scale-up.
