The slurry is coated using a reverse roll coating process . For the purpose of simplicity, it is assumed that the coating thickness is accurately provided by the comma gap parameter in the machine. The value of the final coating thickness ranges from 30 µm to 200 µm since higher coating thickness can lead to high mass loading, which can reduce effective energy density by reducing the maximum achievable capacity from the active material due to poor Lithium ion diffusion kinetics within the electrode . The effect of line speed on the coating thickness is ignored in the BMM script since the reverse coating machine can be controlled to allow for uniform coating at moderate to high line speeds . The line speed can be varied from 0.1 to 2 meters/minute (m/min). So, a minimum temperature of 85 o C for NMP-based slurries and a minimum of 60 o C is given as a threshold for the temperature of the ovens to ensure sufficient drying before the electrode exits the oven. A maximum of 160 o C for NMP and 80 o C for water is given as the maximum threshold .
