01 Fundamentals

Lithium-ion battery principles

How cathode, anode, electrolyte and separator work together; what happens during charge/discharge; why electrons and lithium ions follow different paths.

  • Intercalation and de-intercalation
  • Voltage, capacity, C-rate and energy density
  • Safety basics: heat, overcharge, internal short and BMS protection
02 Materials

Chemistry systems and performance trade-offs

Compare mainstream cathode/anode systems and understand why LFP, NMC/NCA and LMFP lead to different cost, safety, cycle life and application choices.

  • LFP: cost, safety and long cycle life for ESS and entry EV
  • NMC/NCA: higher energy density with stricter thermal management
  • Graphite, silicon-carbon, electrolyte, separator and conductive additives
03 Cell process

Cell manufacturing process map

Learn the flow used in Li+Atlas process/SOR data: slurry mixing, coating, drying, calendaring, slitting, winding/stacking, electrolyte filling, formation, aging and grading.

  • Electrode making: uniformity, moisture and coating quality
  • Cell assembly: alignment, welding, sealing and electrolyte wetting
  • Formation and aging: SEI creation, capacity grading and quality screening
04 Pack & BESS

Module Pack and energy-storage container workflow

Understand how cells become modules, racks and 5MWh-class BESS containers, including sorting, welding, compression, thermal management, BMS/EMS and final test.

  • Module Pack: cell sorting, stacking, busbar welding and EOL testing
  • Container line: rack assembly, HVAC/fire protection, PCS/EMS interface
  • Quality gates: insulation, communication, charge/discharge and safety checks
Li+Atlas database bridge

How this learning service connects to the project tools
