Development of highly-efficient sintering device for manufacturing positive electrode active material (secondary cell)

A sintering furnace for manufacturing the positive electrode active materials of lithium secondary cells is capable of removing smoothly the gases (CO2, CO) generated at the time of synthesizing positive electrode active materials and thereby of making it easy to synthesize such materials. Our company developed the highly-efficient sintering device for manufacturing the positive electrode active materials, which supports composition of multiple atmospheric gases and uniform furnace temperature.

  • National support project: Energy Resource Technology Development (joint development of technology with Pusan National University)
  • Research period: Jun. 1, 2010 to May 31, 2012
  • Total research cost: about 1.1 billion KRW
  • Design based on conditional current and temperature analysis
  • Development of efficient air supply and exhaust system
  • Implementation of uniform internal temperature
  • Remote control and monitoring system

Upper & Side Supply Lower Exhaust System

  • Smooth contact of gases (e.g., O2) for synthesis
  • Material rise speed 10% up by convention heat -> Time shortening
  • Efficient at CO2 exhaust
    → CO2 generated after synthesis stays on the bottom
    → Efficient removal of CO2 through lower exhaust
Precision research through thermal analysis Design & pilot-test through flow field analysis
Uniform temperature ±5˚C
Supply & exhaust system Efficient supply and exhaust system
Driving type SIC Roller, Friction driving
Efficiency Two-layer loading based productivity improvement and energy saving effect
Final goals
  • Localization and commercialization of the sintering furnace for manufacturing positive electrode active materials of lithium-ion cells
  • Development of the highly-efficient sintering furnace with over 150% improved productivity (two layers)
