Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing components of electric batteries on a flexible, flat carrier by applying a liquid or pasty starting material for a structured or unstructured electrical or electronic functional layer and subsequent drying, sintering and/or crosslinking of the starting material on the carrier, and an arrangement to carry out this procedure.
  • drying systems also play a significant role in the costs of the end products - which are expected to decrease with increasing mass use.
  • Known drying systems of the tunnel kiln type only meet these requirements to a very limited extent and are space-consuming and expensive to produce and operate.
  • the invention is based on the object of providing a further improved method of the generic type and a corresponding arrangement which meet the above requirements.
  • the invention includes the idea of providing the energy required for sintering and/or crosslinking of the starting material on the very thin carrier in such a way that it develops its effect essentially in the interior of the coating.
  • radiation in the near infrared range is used for this purpose. Their amplitude maximum is in the wavelength range between 800 nm and 1,500 nm. This radiation is implemented particularly effectively in largely water-based (but also in many solvent-based) solutions, emulsions and pastes.
  • the invention also includes the idea of allowing this radiation to act with such a high energy density that the desired sintering and/or crosslinking in the coating can take place in such a short time that the amount of energy transferred to the substrate and thus its overall thermal load remains limited .
  • energy densities in the range between 50 kW/m 2 and 1,000 kW/m 2 , in particular 120 kW/m 2 at 1,000 kW/m 2 appear to be suitable on the coating surface from today's perspective.
  • the irradiation with near infrared radiation is combined with the impingement of an air flow on the coated surface of the support.
  • evaporated liquid components of the coating can be removed easily and in a targeted manner (e.g. into suitable filters).
  • excessive heating of the carrier material can also be prevented when high power densities have to act for a relatively long time. This may be necessary in order to adequately heat through a relatively thick coating or a coating that is demanding in terms of material.
  • a pasty starting material is applied to the carrier essentially over the entire surface, in particular by means of a roller or doctor blade application process, and, if necessary, subsequently (e.g. by etching processes or by means of a laser) structured.
  • the power density and duration of action of the near infrared radiation is also adjusted here in such a way that a temperature above a material-specific sintering or crosslinking temperature is briefly reached in the selective coating. This configuration should also gain importance in the area of the production of fuel cell electrodes.
  • the carrier is a polymer film with a thickness in the range between 5 ⁇ m and 200 ⁇ m or a metal foil with a thickness in the range between 5 ⁇ m and 15 ⁇ m and the coating is a viscous water-based paste or
  • An organic solvent base is used which has an initial thickness in the range between about 10 and 1000 ⁇ m and a solids content in the range between 40% and 80%. It is provided here that near infrared radiation with a power density in the range between 50-200, in particular 70-150 kW/m 2 , is used for drying, sintering and/or crosslinking.
  • the proposed procedure has the physical background that the effect of the highly drying-efficient NIR radiation on the water- or solvent-based coating leads (and should lead) to a very rapid generation of steam, and that a largely turbulent air flow generated by combined blowing in and suction above the coating to ensure that the vapor is transported away just as quickly.
  • the temperature in the coating is high enough to ensure spontaneous evaporation of the liquid component.
  • This setting of an optimal temperature is primarily carried out by setting the power density of the NIR radiation, but can also be influenced by parameters of the air flow acting on the surface and can therefore be fine-tuned by controlling them.
  • the duration of exposure to the near infrared radiation can be limited to the range between 1 s and 20 s, in particular between 3 s and 10 s, for many of the current applications. It goes without saying that the specific treatment time depends on the thickness and nature of the coating and on the specific power density chosen.
  • the exposure to near infrared radiation is carried out within an NIR irradiation zone with a predetermined profile of non-constant power density.
  • the radiation density profile in response to material properties or non-uniform thickness of the carrier and / or the starting material z. B. in the edge areas of the wearer be adjustable.
  • a temperature maintenance zone can also be implemented independently of the use of near-infrared radiation in a downstream system component, in particular a hot-air dryer.
  • the exposure to near-infrared radiation is carried out from both surfaces of the support. This procedure appears to be particularly suitable when using relatively temperature-stable carriers (such as metal foils). If it is also to be used for products with a temperature-sensitive carrier, the setting of different power densities on the surface of the coating on the one hand and the surface (back side) of the carrier on the other appears to be sensible.
  • an arrangement according to the invention comprises at least conveying means for conveying the flexible planar carrier through the arrangement, coating means for coating the planar carrier with the starting material, in particular while the carrier is being conveyed, and means for drying, sintering and/or crosslinking the layer of starting material on the carrier , especially while conveying the carrier.
  • the drying device comprises at least one radiation source for radiation in the near infrared range, the maximum amplitude of which is in the wavelength range between 800 nm and 1,500 nm and which is designed, configured or adjustable in such a way that its power density on the surface of the carrier is in the range between 50 kW/m 2 and 1,000 kW/m 2 .
  • the NIR irradiation zone is assigned means for supplying and removing a controlled air flow, ie in particular one or more blowers with associated throttle and/or air guiding devices.
  • these can be configured in such a way that the air flow, after it has swept over the surface of the coating, reaches a filter device for filtering out harmful solvent components of the coating and/or a heat exchanger for energy recovery.
  • a corresponding Filter or heat exchanger device is then also part of the proposed arrangement.
  • the means for supplying an air flow have control means for controlling the air flow depending on the radiation power density set in the NIR irradiation zone and/or temperature on the surface and/or material parameters of the coating.
  • the means for drying, sintering and/or crosslinking include a plurality of NIR radiation sources which are arranged and/or controllable in an NIR irradiation zone such that a predetermined profile of non-constant power density can be generated within the irradiation zone.
  • This can in particular be designed such that the NIR emitters have different distances and different reflector geometries over the length of the irradiation zone and/or are placed at different distances above the surface of the coated carrier or they are radiation sources with different power.
  • the above-mentioned profile of non-constant power density over the length and/or width of the irradiation zone can also be controllable, for example by providing means for power control of some or all NIR radiation sources or mechanical adjustment means for variably adjusting the height of the radiation sources above the carrier.
  • the irradiation zone in particular can be flexibly configured into a preheating area and a main drying area and/or a main drying area and a temperature maintenance area.
  • a separate treatment section can also be provided in the drying arrangement, which is constructed in particular as a hot-air dryer or as a tunnel oven section.
