  Solid Electrolytes and Bulk Scale Solid-State Batteries

  Recently, the push to move beyond Li – ion battery technology has grown. Several advanced battery technologies & chemistries have been identified as promising candidates including i) solid-state batteries with Li metal anode, ii) Li – S chemistries, iii) Li – air(oxygen), and iv) flow batteries. Although an engineered solution using liquids may be possible for some of these options, a solid electrolyte is an enabling technology for each of these beyond Li – ion alternatives. This webinar will introduce the operating principles of each of these cell technologies and solid electrolytes will be discussed in this context. The requirements of a solid electrolyte will be outlined & several state of the art solid electrolytes will be compared. Recent technical progress towards the fabrication of solid-state batteries will be reviewed. Finally, an overview of market applications for solid-state will be presented.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Overview of beyond Li – ion battery technologies enabled by solid electrolytes
  • Comparison of state of the art solid electrolytes
  • Recent technical progress towards solid-state batteries
  • Review of market applications for solid-state batteries

  Advancing Mining Processes to Make Better Materials for Use in Lithium Ion Batteries

  American Manganese Inc has developed a low-cost, environmentally friendly hydrometallurgical process to recover manganese (Mn) from lower grade resources. American Manganese has applied for a patent for their hydrometallurgical process that produces electrolytic manganese metal with low energy and water consumption. American Manganese commissioned R&D contractor, Kemetco Research Inc to determine uses of Artillery Peak manganese resource material to generate high value alternative products. Chemical manganese dioxide (CMD) and lithiated manganese oxide (LixMn2O4) for use in rechargeable batteries were the areas researched.

  The research was successful in producing CMD from Artillery Peak resource material with low cation impurities and avoiding processing steps that are known to introduce metallic impurities in the final product. Cation impurities cause capacity fade, whereas metallic impurities are known to cause catastrophic failures (such as fire and explosions) in lithium ion batteries. Working rechargeable lithium ion coin cell battery prototypes were produced from the CMD material.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Catastrophic failure of Li Ion batteries caused by metallic impurities that may be introduced from the mining of raw materials
  • Conventional mining process to recover MnO2 used to make LiMn2O4
  • Research on a new mining process that avoids steps known to introduce metallic impurities to recover MnO2 used to make LiMn2O4

  Finding Your Place as the Industry Doubles Down on Electrified Vehicles

  Sales are moving forward, primarily due to the Tesla Model 3. A raft of new vehicles is arriving in 2019. Besides the plug-ins and battery electrics, hybrids (including 48V and stop/start micro hybrids) are coming.

  Is it a response to regulatory policy? Yes. Is regulatory policy unclear? Yes. Are some companies leaders and others laggards? Yes. Is the supply base critical to product development? Yes. Automakers are setting their own positions as they try to understand the threats and opportunities in their key global markets, even as the regulatory situation becomes more muddled.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Current Sales Trends Regarding EVs and Hybrids
  • EPA/NHTSA vs. The Automakers!?
  • California, EU, and China March Forward
  • Strategies in Near-, Medium-, and Long-Term for Supplier and Automaker

  Certification Challenges for Secondary Use EV Batteries

  As the 1st generation of Lithium-ion based hybrid and battery electric vehicles are reaching end-of life, or original traction batteries are being replaced with new batteries, the interest in secondary life or repurposing of these batteries continues to grow. Lithium-ion batteries present several challenges to Auto OEM’s, Recyclers and waste operators. Repurposing of EV batteries for non-automotive applications also creates new challenges for certification and acceptance by AHJ’s (Authorities Having Jurisdiction). This webinar discusses the current market challenges and concerns, while providing a roadmap of the current options for various usage cases of reused or repurposed EV batteries.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Understand the usage cases for secondary life batteries
  • Review market drivers for secondary use batteries
  • Review the concerns of battery and cell manufacturers with re-use of lithium-ion batteries
  • Discuss the unique challenges to certifying used batteries for new applications
  • Discuss current options for certification in the US market
