VIDEO: A Complete Technical Guide for Producing Coin Cells
In this video series, our Technical Specialist, Georgia Wardle, walks you through the fundamentals of coin cell fabrication, using the specialist equipment that we supply.
From electrode preparation through to final assembly, this overview video explores the key stages of preparing a coin cell - providing a clear, practical reference point to start your energy research process.
Coin cells are a valuable starting point for energy research, offering a simple, fast, and cost-effective route to evaluating new materials and chemistries.
The performance of a coin cell is directly dependent on the quality of its fabrication. Achieving reliable, reproducible results requires:
- Precision
- Attention to detail
- Consistent technique throughout every step of the process.
From mixing the ideal slurry to crimping the final cell, each step plays a critical role.

The Research Pathway - From Coin Cell to Pilot Line
- Lab-Scale Coin Cell
Rapidly test new materials, validate cell performance,and build confidence in your chemistry with simple and cost-effective cell production
- Pouch, Cylinder & Prismatic Cells
Scale your validated chemistry into larger formats, refining processes and establishing performance targets.
- Pilot-Line Production
Commission and equip a battery research pilot line– a small-scale, pre-commercial production line used as a transitional phase in the scaling-up of new battery innovations.
Equipment & Materials — The Complete Ecosystem for Battery Research
In this video, Georgia demonstrates coin cell production using MTI Corp’s precision energy research equipment - grinders, coaters, calendar presses, disc cutters and coin cell crimpers. PI-KEM has worked closely with MTI Corp for over 30 years, supplying academic and industrial R&D teams with the specialist equipment and consumables needed for reliable, high-quality battery research.
From battery research equipment, to high-purity electrode chemicals and cell consumables - we equip researchers with the tools and materials needed for research success.
Coin cells are where the journey begins, but scaling comes next. As your work progresses, we support the transition to larger formats and pilot-line production, helping you optimise processes, improve consistency, and maximise efficiency.
