The explosive growth of the EV battery market means that a huge number of batteries will become unusable within the next 10 years. Tackling the challenge of recycling lithium-ion batteries is critical, both for environmental and economic reasons, and also for reorganizing the global supply chain to become more stable and sustainable. The government sector also is strongly pushing to promote effective battery recycling.
Patent trends in battery recycling technology are an important predictor of future market trends. Our internal patent landscape analysis suggests that Chinese companies currently have a huge lead in patents, but U.S. and European companies are rapidly shrinking the gap, while Korean companies are relative latecomers but are actively seeking to become major players as well.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Current status and forecast of Battery Recycling business
• IP landscape analysis in battery recycling field (focusing on Korean companies)

Characterizing Performance and Determining Reliability of Batteries for Medical Applications
As the number and variety of battery powered devices used in medical applications grows, batteries are playing an ever more important role in determining the reliability of these devices. Unlike the portable consumer electronics industry where high unit volumes can justify the design and manufacturing of custom batteries, the medical device industry must often utilize standard, off-the-shelf batteries for their devices. Even when the production of custom batteries is justified, few battery manufacturers appreciate the level of quality and reliability that is required by the medical device industry.
In this webinar we will look at how to quantify the performance characteristics of batteries in a way that allows direct comparisons to be made between various vendors, form factors and chemistries. Case studies will be presented to demonstrate common mistakes made in battery selection and use, and methods for conducting accelerated aging studies will be discussed. When properly conducted, such aging studies can be used to identify potential reliability issues, monitor the manufacturing quality of the batteries and serve as a tool to aid in the selection and qualification of various battery vendors.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• What do you need to know that is not on the specification sheets?
• How do you make apples-to-apples performance comparisons between different battery types?
• When is impedance and/or capacity matching important in multi-cell configurations?
• How can quality be compared between vendors?
• How can battery longevity be predicted in specific applications?Presenter

Real-time, Non-Destructive, Bulk Analysis of Black Mass Using CNA
The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is vital for climate action and cleaner air. However, responsibly managing EV batteries is crucial, particularly recycling to conserve resources and minimize environmental impact. Black mass, a concentrated form of cathode material extracted from spent batteries, contains valuable metals like nickel, cobalt, and manganese. Efficiently recovering these metals requires accurate composition analysis. Traditional methods are challenging due to the varying composition of black mass from different battery chemistries (like LFP and NMC variations viz. 622, 811, 111, 333, and 532). The CNA Pentos, with its unique D-T PFTNA neutron generator, offers a solution by enabling direct bulk measurement of black mass, facilitating optimized metal recovery processes.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• E-mobility is crucial for climate action
• Battery recycling is essential for sustainability
• Black mass is rich in valuable cathode metals
• Accurate metal analysis is vital for efficient recycling
• CNA Pentos enables direct bulk elemental analysis of black massPresenter
