Real-time, Non-Destructive, Bulk Analysis of Black Mass Using CNA
The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is vital for climate action and cleaner air. However, responsibly managing EV batteries is crucial, particularly recycling to conserve resources and minimize environmental impact. Black mass, a concentrated form of cathode material extracted from spent batteries, contains valuable metals like nickel, cobalt, and manganese. Efficiently recovering these metals requires accurate composition analysis. Traditional methods are challenging due to the varying composition of black mass from different battery chemistries (like LFP and NMC variations viz. 622, 811, 111, 333, and 532). The CNA Pentos, with its unique D-T PFTNA neutron generator, offers a solution by enabling direct bulk measurement of black mass, facilitating optimized metal recovery processes.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• E-mobility is crucial for climate action
• Battery recycling is essential for sustainability
• Black mass is rich in valuable cathode metals
• Accurate metal analysis is vital for efficient recycling
• CNA Pentos enables direct bulk elemental analysis of black massPresenter

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 researchPresenter

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 resultsPresenter

Modeling Mechanical Abuse and Short Circuit of EV Batteries
As electric vehicles (EVs) become more widespread, ensuring lithium-ion battery safety during collisions is increasingly important. Mechanical impacts can cause internal damage, leading to short circuits, thermal runaway, or explosions. Protective enclosures help reduce deformation, but effective design demands accurate failure predictions. This webinar presents a comprehensive approach for modeling mechanical abusive loads on EV batteries, incorporating experiments, material characterization and the Sahraei Failure Criterion—a universal failure model based on microstructural simulations of the electrode-separator assembly. Model validations will be presented across various cell types and loading scenarios in commercial software such as Ansys LS-Dyna and Altair Radioss. Combined with multi-scale simulations, this framework supports the development of safer, more resilient battery systems for EVs.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Experimental Methods for Material Characterization
• Multiscale Modeling from Components to Cells and Battery Packs
• Short Circuit Prediction with Sahraei Failure
• Applicability to Pouch, Cylindrical and Prismatic CellsPresenter
