  R&D Pathways Towards High-Energy Liquid, Semi-Solid and Solid Li-Ion Batteries

  With our unique machine learning (ML)-supported innovation and patent analysis approach, we have made in-depth studies of emerging high energy positive & negative active materials, and how they can be combined with liquid, semi-solid or solid electrolytes to obtain improved performance / safety / cost profiles in EVs, consumer electronics, IoT, etc.

  This presentation will illustrate R&D pathways that are being pursued by key commercial players, identifying opportunities and risks of varying approaches.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • High energy positive and negative electrode active materials
  • Combination with liquid, semi-solid and solid electrolytes
  • Opportunities and risks of different material permutations
  • Key commercial players pursuing varying approaches

  Going Electric – But How, When, and By Whom?

  Sales of battery electrics are surging, but the market is unsettled. In the last year companies have piled on the price increases, while mostly failing to meet their own production goals. But companies throughout the industry are ramping up their spending, with public investment (and regulation) pouring in as well.

  Is the focus on the high end or is the market moving mainstream? Yes.

  We will discuss product successes and failures, and what it will take for the latter to become the former. We will evaluate the major players including their key products, marketing approaches, and whether they have and/or will hit the mark.

  We will assess the outlook for industry participants as changes in production, manufacturing and design techniques, regulation, and battery technologies evolve.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Current sales and products, forecasted to 2030
  • The industry is throwing a party, albeit with different levels of commitment, sales, and production strategies
  • Impact of the Inflation Reduction Act and forthcoming EPA and California regulations
  • Opportunities and risks due to the evolving battery and materials market

  Challenges in Processing Large-Scale Sulfide-Based All-Solid-State Batteries

  Sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries are one of the most promising next generation energy storages. Especially the chlor-Argyrodite material Li6PS5Cl and ceramic sulfide Li7P3S11 are attractive solid electrolyte materials due to their high ionic conductivity. To date a lot of research in terms of material chemistry and cell design is presented in literature. From a production point of view, process parameter studies and process engineering are rarely addressed. To fabricate a thin-film sheet of the separator or composite cathode, conventional wet coating techniques from lithium-ion battery production can be applied, but processing has to be adapted to the properties of the sulfidic materials. Besides stable production atmospheres, the optimized processing is crucial to achieve the maximum possible energy density.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Changes in Manufacturing Processes from LIB to ASSB
  • Requirements for Stable Production Atmospheres
  • Choice of Process Parameters (Mixing, Coating, Drying)
  • Correlation between cell energy density and optimizing manufacturing processes

  Failure Analysis of Next Generation Si Based Anodes

  Silicon (Si) is an attractive alternative to graphite due to its high theoretical capacity of 3500 mAh-g-1 and its high abundance on earth. Unfortunately, Si is plagued by significant volume expansion during charge/discharge, upwards of 300%. As a result, researchers and companies have focused their attention on mitigating the disadvantages of Si. With various methods the aim is to create a Si based anode that has a stability comparable or better then graphite. With increasing interest, it is important to discuss and determine abuse testing and failure analysis techniques that can effectively determine the durability of these new anodes.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Why is it important to look at alternative anodes to graphite?
  • The advantages and disadvantages of Si based anodes
  • Creation of new anodes to alleviate the disadvantages of Si
  • Customized abuse testing and failure analysis of Si based anode cells
