A laboratory hydraulic press is equipment designed to deform or compact materials under high pressure. In electrochemistry, such a press finds its application in the processes of creating electrodes and other battery components. In our laboratory, the hydraulic press plays a key role in the process of creating pressed electrodes for electrochemical research and development. In this hydraulic press, the pressure can reach 40 MPa. This equipment is used to compact powder materials, which is a critical step in the production of pressed electrodes. This method allows us to obtain electrodes with optimal density and uniformity, which directly affects their efficiency and durability in batteries.
In addition, a hydraulic press is used to level and straighten current collectors and various substrates, ensuring ideal flatness and dimensional accuracy for subsequent application of the active layer. Such precision and quality of component preparation are necessary to minimize internal resistance in the battery and increase its energy efficiency.
