Laser Cleaning of Power Battery
Jun 25,2025
Leading power battery manufacturers and research institutions are increasingly adopting laser cleaning systems to address key challenges in battery production and recycling processes to improve safety, efficiency and sustainability.
Traditional methods for cleaning battery components (such as busbars, cell casings and electrode materials) typically involve chemical solvents, sandblasting or manual operations. These methods have significant drawbacks: chemical waste creates environmental hazards, potential damage to sensitive surfaces, inconsistent cleaning results, and risks to workers' health. Laser cleaning offers an attractive alternative, using a precisely focused laser beam to remove contaminants such as oxides, residues, dust and coatings without physical contact.
How laser cleaning improves battery manufacturing:
- Unparalleled precision and non-contact safety: High-precision lasers selectively remove unwanted materials (e.g., oxide layers on busbars, insulating films on terminals) without damaging the underlying substrate. The non-contact nature eliminates mechanical stress and particle generation, which is critical for delicate battery components.
- Improve process efficiency and automation: Laser systems can be seamlessly integrated into automated production lines. Cleaning cycles take just seconds, significantly increasing yields and reducing bottlenecks in high-volume battery manufacturing compared to manual methods.
- Superior Bonding and Welding Quality: Clean surfaces are essential for reliable electrical connections (welding, bonding). Laser cleaning ensures optimal surface conditions, significantly improving weld strength, conductivity, and long-term reliability of battery packs, leading to lower failure rates.
- Environmental Sustainability: Eliminating the use of chemical solvents and reducing waste (lasers evaporate contaminants), making the entire process more environmentally friendly. This aligns perfectly with the environmental goals of the electric vehicle and renewable energy storage industries.
- Improved Worker Safety: Removing harmful chemicals and abrasive particles during the cleaning process creates a safer factory environment.
- Beyond Manufacturing: The Recycling Imperative:
Laser technology also plays a vital role in battery recycling. It is critical to safely and efficiently remove coatings, labels, and residual electrolyte from end-of-life batteries prior to shredding and material recovery. Laser cleaning offers a controlled, residue-free method for battery recycling that increases the purity and yield of key materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel.
As demand for electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage soars, the need for efficient, reliable and sustainable battery manufacturing is growing. Laser cleaning technology is expected to play an increasingly important role in meeting this demand, driving innovation and setting new standards for quality and environmental responsibility in the power battery sector.
