As the world electrifies, global battery production is expected to surge. However, batteries are both difficult to produce at the gigawatt-hour scale and sensitive to minor manufacturing variation. As a result, the battery industry has already experienced both highly-visible safety incidents and under-the-radar reliability issues-a trend that will only worsen if left unaddressed. Here we highlight both the challenges and opportunities to enable battery quality at scale. We first describe the interplay between various battery failure modes and their numerous root causes. We then discuss how to manage and improve battery quality during production. We hope our perspective brings greater visibility to the battery quality challenge to enable safe global electrification.
随着世界走向电气化，全球电池产量预计将大幅增长。然而，电池在吉瓦时规模上既难以生产，又对微小的制造差异敏感。因此，电池行业已经经历了引人注目的安全事故和不为人知的可靠性问题——如果不加以解决，这一趋势只会恶化。在此，我们强调了大规模实现电池质量的挑战与机遇。我们首先描述各种电池失效模式及其众多根本原因之间的相互作用。然后，我们讨论如何在生产过程中管理和提高电池质量。我们希望我们的观点能让电池质量挑战得到更多关注，以实现全球安全电气化。
