The rising demand for electric vehicles and energy storage systems has intensified research into battery production technologies. Among the various stages of battery manufacturing, the electrode production process, particularly the coating stage using slot coating technology, is well-suited for computational fluid dynamics simulations. The fluid flow during this application is termed slot coating bead flow, where various phenomena can lead to successful coating or the occurrence of defects and failures. A critical factor influencing the phenomena in slot coating bead flow is the rheological properties of the slurry, which can be categorized into time-independent and time-dependent behaviors. Time-independent rheology is characterized by properties that are determined instantaneously based on processing conditions, resulting in consistent behavior under the same conditions. A common example is shear thinning, where viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate, significantly affecting the slot coating process. In contrast, time-dependent rheology is influenced by the history of the material. This is often associated with the microstructure of the slurry. Thixotropy, defined as the gradual decrease of viscosity over time under constant stress, followed by recovery upon cessation of flow, has been observed in battery slurries. However, its impact on slot coating bead flow remains largely unexplored. This study investigates the effects of thixotropy in battery slurries on slot coating bead flow. We established a rheological model to incorporate thixotropy into our simulations and analyzed the resulting flow characteristics.
