Unlocking the Potential: The Role of Ball Mills in Battery Technology

From research to manufacturing and quality control, laboratory ball mills play an essential role along the value chain in battery production. First and foremost, the various types of ball mills are used in research and development. Provided they can accommodate the required amount of material to be processed, laboratory mills are also used in pilot plants for small-scale battery production.

In this white paper, RETSCH discusses the four main application areas of laboratory ball mills in battery technology, using specific application examples:

• Reducing the particle size of battery materials
• Mixing and particle coating
• Synthesis of new battery materials
• Sample preparation for analysis
