Dry Coating Forum - 2025
Dry Coating Forum: Shaping the Future of Dry Battery Electrode Processing. The demand for green technologies is increasing immensely. More and more electric vehicles are entering the roads. As a result, the efficient and environmentally friendly production of battery cells is moving to a center stage. Especially during the manufacturing of the battery electrodes, state-of-the-art slurry processes are very space- and energy-consuming and moreover, involve the use of toxic solvents.
Dry battery electrode coating is considered to contribute drastically towards greener and more efficient battery production. Toxic solvents are avoided, the equipment footprint is drastically reduced, and energy costs for the intensive drying step are omitted. It is therefore expected that dry battery electrode coating will become the industry standard in the medium term. While there are efforts and developments worldwide that are advancing dry coating, there has not been a forum yet for connecting the different stakeholders in this specific R&D topic.
As one of the leading R&D institutes with many years of dry coating expertise, Fraunhofer IWS now provides a dedicated platform and launches the Dry Coating Forum (DCF). DCF is a platform for material suppliers, equipment manufacturers, cell makers, and end users to exchange information about current trends, developments, and challenges in the field of dry coating technologies.
Following the great success of the DCF 2023 and 2024, we are delighted to be holding this unique event for networking and knowledge exchange in the field of dry electrode coating again in 2025.
What to Expect
- Plenary lectures by internationally renowned speakers
- Lab tour @Fraunhofer IWS
- Poster session and get together
- Exchange of new ideas, discussion and networking
Continue your journey right after the Dry Coating Forum at the International Battery Production Conference (IBPC), taking place on November 5–6, 2025, in Braunschweig.
Since 2018, the IBPC has become the premier international platform for battery production – from materials and processing to recycling, circular economy, and supply chains – uniting researchers and industry experts from around the globe. Present your research or learn from the best: in cooperation with VDMA Battery Production and the Braunschweig Labfactories for Batteries and more (BLB+), IBPC addresses the latest national and international developments on:
1. Electrode and cell production
2. Analytics and applications
3. Development and production of innovative and next-generation batteries
4. Recycling and sustainability
Maximize the impact of your trip by attending both events!
