  Detailed Approaches for Post-Mortem Analysis of Lithium Ion Batteries

  Performance degradation of Lithium Ion Batteries (LIBs) is an important problem not only battery users, but also for battery manufacturers and material suppliers. In this webinar, we will present two topics related to the Post-Mortem analysis of LIBs – one is the performance degradation of SiO anode, and the other is a detailed procedure for the quantitative analysis of electrolyte decomposition and SEI formation on graphite negative electrode.

  Toray Research Center can provide detailed and comprehensive data analysis of chemical and morphological changes, using latest instruments, to support material and product performance improvements. Customers can utilize the data set to investigate what may have happened inside the battery, and can correlate the performance degradation with that data analysis.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Lithium Ion battery
  • Post-Mortem analysis
  • SiO anode
  • Electrolyte degradation and SEI formation
  • Morphological observation and Composition analysis

  Enabling High-Rate Lithium Metal Anodes by Tailored Structures and Interfaces

  Oxide-based solid-state Li-batteries (SSLiBs) have the potential to be a transformational and intrinsically safe energy storage solution, due to their non-flammable ceramic electrolyte that enables the use of high-capacity Li metal anodes and high voltage cathodes for higher energy density over a much wider operating temperature range. However, their progress has been limited due to electrode/electrolyte interfacial issues. In particular, for Li-metal anodes concerns over dendrite formation/propagation and the requirement for elevated temperature and high stack pressure are still prevalent. To eliminate these concerns, a rational design of tailored structures and interfaces in Li-metal anodes will be presented. In addition, progress toward full cells using these tailored structures and interfaces will be presented.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Li-metal wetting of oxide electrolyte interface
  • Effect of oxide surface defects on Li dendrite formation
  • Effect of 3D structure on localized current density
  • Avoiding stack pressure to maintain uniform Li/oxide contact

  IP Challenges for Foreign Battery Makers in China – Latest Industrial and Legal Trends

  China is a key market and a serious player in the lithium battery business, especially for EV and other industrial uses. The Chinese government has enacted policies favoring domestic business, while foreign battery makers are left to their means when navigating a very different legal environment. This creates unique challenges for U.S. and European battery makers trying to enter the Chinese battery market. Securing their IP, protecting their supply chain from illegal infiltrations by counterfeiters, preventing and fighting back IP theft, stopping and deterring infringers and counterfeiters are some of these challenges which they cannot avoid when doing business with China. In this webinar we will provide an overview of these challenges, the risk they pose to the business models and strategies of the foreign right holders for overcoming these challenges. We will also provide useful advise and tips for procuring and protecting IP rights in China.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Challenges in the battery business in China from the IP perspective
  • R&D, patent filing strategies and trade secrets
  • Securing supply chain
  • IP theft
  • IP infringement
