Single-tab, multi-tab or tab-less - The best solution for small cylindrical cell formats

This presentation will focus on the tab designs of cylindrical cells and highlight the advantages and disadvantages of single-tab, multi-tab and tabless cell designs. On a technical level, we will discuss the connection concepts and electrode pattern design that define these cells and highlight the industry trend towards tabless designs in cylindrical cells. The presentation will explain the definition of a tabless cell, its advantages and why it is gaining momentum in the latest generation of cylindrical cells.

In addition, we will provide a market overview of the cylindrical cell market. We will also evaluate which tab design best fits specific applications and specifications and provide insights into their performance, efficiency and profitability for different use cases. Finally, the discussion will discuss the opportunities that the innovative generation of cylindrical cells offers to the European cell market, highlighting potential advances, market dynamics and strategic advantages.
