Publication number: 20230387470Abstract: A monocell and a method for producing a monocell for a battery cell. In this method, a first separator film, an anode film, a second separator film, and a cathode film are stacked in this sequence to form a film layer arrangement and fed to a thermal cutting process. The cutting of the film layer arrangement is accomplished by a thermal cutting method, wherein a first metal coating on the anode film and a second metal coating on the cathode film vaporize in the cut region. The plastic substrate of the anode melts partially and spreads over the cut surface of the first anode layer and electrically insulates the same. The plastic substrate of the cathode melts partially and spreads over the cut surface of the first cathode layer and electrically insulates the same.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: Volkswagen AktiengesellschaftInventors: Dennis BOEHM, Tobias JANSEN, Christian KLEMT, Alexander TORNOW, Marco JORDAN, Adrian BECKER
