Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a method widely used across industry to deposit a very thin layer of a material on a surface to alter its properties. The technique has been utilized in various areas of battery research, including solid-state batteries.
A key challenge with solid state batteries is the high impedance at the interface between the cathode and the electrolyte. PVD is ideally suited to develop model systems to study and look to improve this problem.
PVD also allows high throughput screening of different materials to accelerate new composition developments with enhanced electrochemical properties.
The HEX series of PVD instruments has some key benefits for battery research. It is a cost-effective solution that is mounted below an existing glovebox, allowing continued use of the glovebox for other purposes and easy access to the vacuum chamber for modification and cleaning. The highly modular nature allows configuration changes without specialist tools, enabling changes in research direction without additional costs.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• PVD techniques are a valuable tool in a wide spectrum of battery research
• Develop model systems to study interfacial phenomena
• High throughput screening of different materials to accelerate new composition developments with enhanced electrochemical properties
• Introduction to the HEX series of PVD instrument and its unique advantages for research

Battery Selection Tutorial Course 1/3: Selecting your Cell and Cell Manufacturer(s)
After designing your product, you need to ensure the battery with which you are operating it will ensure the right performance and lifetime. When deciding this, narrowing down which chemistry (e.g. Li-ion, lithium primary, NiMH, etc.) best fits your product and which form factor are some of the first steps. Choosing a cell design (high-power vs. high-energy, for example) is another step and finally, finding the right cell manufacturer to fabricate your cells and packs. This webinar is the first in a three-part series on designing the right battery for your product. It will cover many of the key differences in chemistries, form factors, and cell designs and other best practices.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Choosing the right chemistry for your application
• Choosing the right form factor
• Choosing cell designs (e.g. high power vs. high-energy)Presenter

Avoid Battery Explosions and Fires – With Right Data and Better Designs
Modern Li Ion batteries contain hazardous chemicals and heat up during use – this combination always has the potential to cause fires and explosions. This presentation will focus on improving the understanding of how such incidents occur, what can be done to avoid them and how the risk can be minimized during early stage design.
The solution lies in knowledge of the heat generation rate during normal use, and information about safe boundaries such as temperature, discharge rate & overcharge in realistic situations that represent actual conditions of use. Data from commercial batteries of different types, including videos of batteries undergoing thermal runaway, will be used to illustrate these points.
A relatively new technique will also be discussed with data, which allows total heat output during discharge to be measured on-line and this can be used both for design and battery modelling. Examples of the data will be provided.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Why battery fires and explosions occur
• How to design safer batteries through understanding of heat generation
• Video evidence of batteries under explosive conditions
• How better thermal management systems can be designed – based on heat measurement from isothermal calorimetry
• Laboratory instruments suitable for testing and data generationPresenter
Dr. Jasbir Singh – Managing Director at Hazard Evaluation LaboratoryJasbir is a chemical engineer specializing in thermal hazards and calorimetry, traditionally for the chemical industry but now increasingly involved in battery safety, especially Li-ion EV and related types.
A graduate of Imperial College (London), where he undertook PhD into combustion and explosions, his experience includes many years in process design for the chemical and petrochemical industries. He is currently developing test methods and instruments for use in design of battery thermal management systems.

Accelerating Launch of New Battery Technologies by Expediting Samples Through Collaborative Partnerships
Polaris is a processing lab that accelerates new lithium ion battery developments resulting in faster delivery of samples. It provides processing services to accelerate the optimization of recipes for battery developers. Using its services, customers can avoid delays in launching products due to internal funding and staffing constraints.
Services include anode and cathode electrode mix and coat trials, pouch stack cell assemblies, cell and material analytical testing services, business advisory services, and a link to high volume production.
Two major roadblocks facing battery technology companies are addressed: 1) Startups lack staffing, process knowledge, funding, and equipment to develop samples, and 2) Commercialization of new battery technologies is capital intensive and takes long time to pass quality standards
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Significant new material inventions in lithium ion and other advanced battery chemistries in the US
• Two primary issues or “gaps” in getting these technologies to the market
– generating samples for investors, customers and internal engineering evaluation and optimization
– building a battery factory and gaining product and quality system approval (a huge undertaking)
• Polaris Battery Labs Capability Overview for samples and commercialization
• Partner Profile; Carestream Heath as a contract coating partner to reduce time-to-market and risksPresenter

Lithium Ion Capacitors – Combining Energy with Power
FREE Webinar – JSR Micro, Inc. is a proud sponsor of this event.
Lithium Ion Capacitors (LIC) are hybrids of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) and lithium ion batteries (LIB). Combining the reversible non-Faradaic cathode from an EDLC and the reversible Faradaic anode from an LIB results in an ultra or super capacitor with significantly increased energy density, improved float performance and low self-discharge rates. Avoiding the lithium metal oxide cathodes from LIB’s improves the inherent safety and eliminates Cobalt content, however still combines aspects of energy & power of both cell types. The Faradaic intercalation/deintercalation reactions at the anode are capable of generating a significant amount of charge, while the non-Faradaic electrostatic storage of the electrical energy formed at the interface of the electrode and the electrolyte, known as an electric double layer, results in fast charge and discharge capabilities for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of cycles.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• What is an LIC? Technology Introduction
• Key Benefits
• Safety
• EDLC vs LIC
• ApplicationsPresenter
