On-line Process Control Solutions for Battery Components Manufacturing
Join us for an insightful webinar where we delve into the transformative power of process analytical solutions in the context of Industry 4.0’s smart factory evolution. Discover how our comprehensive suite of online solutions drives yield and ensures quality throughout the battery manufacturing landscape and across the entire value chain.
From particle size analysis of precursor and electrode materials to elemental composition scrutiny in liquid precursors and electrode coatings, we offer a tailored approach to streamline your production and recycling processes. While the QC lab can be outfitted with our PSD, XRF, XRD, Imaging and Light Scattering instruments, to name a few, we are focused on bringing innovative solutions to where it’s needed most, whether that is in R&D, pilot or full production lines. These solutions are now in-line, on-line, at-line as well as in-situ and in-operando delivering real-time data for insightful and actionable intelligence.
Don’t miss this opportunity to streamline your processes and unlock the full potential of Industry 4.0 in battery production.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Particle size control of precursor and cathode materials
• Elemental composition control of battery liquid precursors
• Elemental composition control of battery electrode coatings
• XRF Technology for Elemental composition analysis with process automation
• Laser diffraction Technology for particle size analysis with process automation

Recycling of Lithium Ion Batteries From Electric Vehicles
The recycling of lithium-ion batteries – from EVs and others – will be discussed in this webinar.
Recently, the pilot plant of project LithoRec II could prove that a newly developed combination of process steps enables the recovery of a mass fraction of 75 % and more on a material recycling basis from lithium-ion batteries. This is supposed to be much better than state of the art. Combining different process steps like discharging, dismantling, shredding, sifting and air-jet separation the project partners were able to achieve their goal: proving that lithium-ion batteries can be recycled better. One interesting process dealing with the electrolyte came in a black box (which was actually white) and this was because of another ongoing patenting process of Lion Engineering. A modified and simplified process works to directly recycle scraps from the production of lithium-ion batteries – in order to protect both: the environment and the stakeholder’s money.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Recycling of Lithium Ion Batteries
• Recycling Yields and how to regain 75% and more – on a material recycling basis
• Direct Recycling of LIB-Production Scraps
Presenter
Christian Hanisch – CEO at Lion Engineering
Christian studied Process Engineering at TU Braunschweig (Germany) and has worked in the research project LithoRec and designed LithoRec II at the Institute for Particle Technology / TU Braunschweig on the topic of Recycling of Lithium Ion Batteries. He developed and patented new recycling processes and led the project to the realization of a pilot plant. Recognizing the highest interest of industrial partners in this topic he co-founded the spin-off Lion Engineering GmbH with fellow PhD students and Professor Arno Kwade in 2011. Beginning in 2016, Christian started to focus full-time on being CEO of Lion Engineering.

Patenting Inventions Course 3/3: International Battery Patent Battles
In the first three months of 2021, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) announced two investigations related to patented battery technology. Later in 2021, the ITC is scheduled to issue decisions in two additional investigations relating to lithium-ion battery cells. This talk will present a case study highlighting the impact of the ITC on the battery industry.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Why is the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) a popular venue for battery litigation?
• What types of disputes can be litigated before the ITC?
• Recent activity in ITC battery litigation

All Solid-State Batteries and the Future of Energy Storage
The development of all solid-state batteries (ASSBs) has seen tremendous progress in recent years. However, several barriers still need to be overcome before ASSBs can be commercialized. These obstacles include poor interfacial stability, scalability challenges as well as the difficulty to precisely diagnose problems within the cell. Additionally, efforts to develop sustainable recyclability in lithium ion batteries are still lacking. In this webinar, we discuss SSEs chemistries and its implications on interfacial stability. We also cover the current state-of-the-art characterization techniques and evaluate future ASSB prototyping strategies. Finally, we hope to discuss potential strategies toward a sustainable ASSB recycling model to address the growing lithium ion battery waste problem.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Overview of solid-state batteries and solid-state electrolyte research
• Importance of interfacial stability – correlate chemical, electrochemical and mechanical-induced reactions
• Challenges for diagnosis / characterization of buried interfaces and lithium dendrites
• Scalable fabrication considerations of commercialized all-solid-state batteries
• Sustainability – Battery recycling concerns of Cost, Efficiency and the Environment
