Upcoming Seminar: Intensive Lithium-Ion Battery Manufacturing Course

Overview

From August 31 to September 4, 2026, CMC-R is hosting the 5-day intensive seminar titled "Lithium-Ion Battery Manufacturing Techniques - Advanced Course on NMC Cathodes and Graphite/Silicon Anodes". This unique hands-on program will be held at the STL Japan facility in Okayama Prefecture, offering participants the opportunity to gain extensive practical knowledge in battery manufacturing, a critical field as the world pivots toward advanced battery technology.

Event Details

• - Duration: 4 nights, 5 days of immersive learning
• - Location: STL Japan Okayama Factory, Tsuyama City, Okayama
• - Capacity: Limited to 6 participants for a personalized experience (minimum 4 required)
• - Deadline for Application: August 24, 2026
• - Participating Fee: 550,000 JPY (includes transportation from Tsuyama station, lunch, and networking events, excludes accommodation)

Course Highlights

The practical training will revolve around real-world applications in battery production, covering techniques that cannot be fully appreciated through theoretical study:

1. Production of negative electrode aqueous slurries using planetary mixing equipment.
2. Adjusting the electrode weights for both anode and cathode coating processes.
3. Methods for drying and assembling battery cells.
4. Comprehensive understanding of the manufacturing process for lithium-ion batteries.

Participants will not only learn about the differences between graphite and silicon anodes but will also engage in hands-on sessions that reflect actual manufacturing conditions in a modern facility. This immersive experience is designed for those who wish to bridge the gap between laboratory research and industrial production.
