Data-Driven Battery Product Development: Turn Battery Performance Into a Competitive Advantage
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq, Inc. is a proud sponsor of this event.
Battery performance is a primary source of user dissatisfaction across a broad range of applications, and is the key bottleneck slowing the adoption of electric vehicles, renewable energy, and longer lasting, more powerful mobile electronics. Moreover, advances in battery development are continually slowed by inefficiencies and missed opportunities in analyzing the vast amounts of raw data generated during testing and operation, and the lack of effective tools to process and analyze this data.
In this webinar, we’ll present approaches to eliminate these data bottlenecks and explain how to leverage your information to help you ship quality products faster using fewer resources while ensuring safety and reliability in the field, ultimately turning battery performance into a competitive advantage.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• What bottlenecks are hindering the development of new batteries and battery powered systems?
• What are your batteries trying to tell you? Expose additional value using techniques like differential capacity analysis
• Case studies on data-driven product development at each stage of the battery lifecycle: from R&D to operation in the field

Approaches to Recovering Critical Materials From Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries
FREE Webinar – Li-Cycle is a proud sponsor of this event.
As the world transitions towards sustainability and low carbon emissions, lithium-ion batteries are being used across a broad spectrum of products and industries. The automotive industry, in particular, estimates 559 million of electric vehicles will be on the road by 2040. Consequently, lithium-ion battery waste is forecasted to hit over 11 million tonnes by 2030.
How can the world deal with this oncoming tsunami of lithium-ion batteries?
The audience will have the answer after this webinar as this presentation will walk through both global and future approaches to dealing with end-of-life batteries and explore the importance of recovering critical materials from lithium-ion batteries to meet future demand.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Global end-of-life lithium-ion battery market opportunity
• Recycling vs reuse
• Incumbent technologies for ‘recycling’ lithium-ion batteries
• New technologies and techniques for recycling lithium-ion batteries
• Comparative benefits of recycling technologies

Battery Safety Assessment: From Cell to Pack Level
FREE Webinar – PlugVolt is a proud sponsor of this event.
For fast and reliable battery pack development, a virtual assessment of battery safety via simulation is presented. The methodology, from single cell abuse testing up to battery pack simulation of crash and crush loads, is discussed. Cell tests that provide detailed understanding of the mechanical behavior of single Li-ion cells are used to improve battery stiffness and to optimize battery pack design.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Method description: battery safety assessment from cell to pack level
• Abuse cell tests
• Abuse cell simulations
• Crash and crush simulations at module and pack levels

Measurements That Accelerate Battery Development
FREE Webinar – Metrohm is a proud sponsor of this event.
Material damage and defects in separators and collectors can ultimately cause thermal runaway and lead to failure of the cell. Improved design of these key components is vital for safer batteries, and proper testing early in the development process ensures high performance.
In this webinar, battery expert Brian Morin, CEO of Soteria Battery Innovation Group, will reveal new architectures that lead to safer cell performance. Reza Fathi, Product Specialist from Metrohm Autolab, will discuss the use of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for Li-ion battery analysis. Using case studies and real-world examples, they will also describe why performance-predictive electrical and electrochemical measurements are necessary to accelerate the development process.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• How to design separators and current collectors to deter thermal runaway
• How to utilize bench-top measurements as screening tools during early cell development to reduce time and expense
• How temperature-controlled impedance measurements lead to advanced materials analysis
• Electrochemical techniques to test and evaluate Li-ion cells
