  • Publication number: 20250125330
    Abstract: An electrode manufacturing system includes a transferring part, a coating part, a drying part, and a heat treatment part. The transferring part is arranged downstream of the drying part to heat the electrode substrate to a high temperature and includes a transfer roller supports and transfers an electrode substrate in a long-sheet shape. The coating part applies an electrode slurry to an electrode current collector. The drying part dries the electrode slurry disposed on the electrode substrate. The heat treatment part is disposed downstream of the drying part along a transfer direction of the electrode substrate and applies heat to the electrode substrate to increase the adhesion of the electrode by changing the crystal phase of the PVdF binder of the electrode substrate during the heat treatment process, thereby preventing the separation of the electrode active material layer. A manufacturing method including the same is also provided.
