  The US Electric Vehicle Market – Ruled by Demand or Supply?

  Sales of battery electrics are surging, but the market is unsettled. High prices have hurt demand, as high costs due to lack of scale and supplier and manufacturer production problems have occurred.

  Short-term financial pressures and regulatory requirements, which do not require high BEV volumes in the short-term, enable companies to back off on the timing and extent of some of their investments.

  But 2026 looks a lot different than 2024, and the North American market does not operate in a vacuum. We will address what companies have achieved, where they’ve come up short, and what the future holds.

  We will also 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
  • Company plans are in flux for multiple reasons
  • Regulatory impact is significant and unclear
  • The evolving Battery and Materials market adds uncertainty and opportunity

  Presenter

  Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) in Solid-State Battery Development – A Novel and Cost-Effective Approach

  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

  Advances in Battery Performance and Safety Testing using Calorimetry

  This presentation describes two main types of calorimetric techniques that can be used to carry out performance and safety testing on high-energy batteries.

  The first half of the presentation introduces isothermal calorimetry; focused on the new IBCx system from Thermal Hazard Technology (THT). Method of operation, hardware overview and examples of data will be presented.

  The second half of the presentation covers battery testing methods for the ARC adiabatic calorimeter system. The theoretical background of the test method will be described, and new developments to address blade-type batteries and high ampere-hour cells will be presented.

  The presentation also mentions complementary test methods and optional modules that can be integrated with calorimetry to provide more useful analysis. For example; fast-tracking heaters, online gas analysis etc.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Principles of isothermal and adiabatic calorimetry testing for high-energy batteries
  • Advantages and limitations of these two methods
  • New product developments from THT to address market test requirements
  • Discussion of THT lab testing results
