    Advancing Battery Cell Quality – Cutting-Edge Testing Solutions for Improvement

    Discover novel testing techniques for high-quality battery cell production, such as Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), Alternating Current Internal Resistance (ACIR), and scientific machine learning.

    Learn about the unique challenges of manufacturing battery cells, including chemical and structural defects. Understand the strategic placement of these tests in the manufacturing process to maximize defect detection without sacrificing throughput. Uncover how data plays a crucial role in reducing costs, increasing throughput, and mitigating risks by focusing on collecting the right data at the right time.

    This session is essential for battery cell manufacturing professionals aiming to optimize yield, quality, and throughput through effective testing and inspection techniques.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Identify key challenges and industry trends for battery cell production
    • Learn about cutting edge test and inspection techniques (EIS, ACIR, scientific machine learning)
    • Get insights to optimize cell testing during production to improve yield, quality, and throughput
    • Hear about today’s industry use cases such as the Battery Innovation Center

    Comprehensive Analysis of Degraded PE Fuel Cells by Durability Tests

    As a sustainable power source for automobiles, PEFC (Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells) have been investigated for further improvement of their durability. In general, the degradation of PEFCs is caused by various factors under operation. Thus, a comprehensive analysis is required to understand these important degradation factors.

    This presentation will share evaluation by multi-analysis method of degraded PEFCs after their cycling. It was found that Si was contaminated in the cathode catalyst layer, and that Pt particles were enlarged in the cathode catalyst layer near the cathode gas outlet area. In addition, it was found that the degradation of the ionomer was more likely to occur near the cathode gas inlet area.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs)
    • Durability test
    • Ionomer
    • Comprehensive degradation analysis

    The US Electric Vehicle Market – From Niche to the Mainstream

    Sales of battery electrics are growing, with the number of entries seemingly growing too fast relative to projected sales volume. Costs are coming down (albeit not fast enough?), capability is increasing, infrastructure is being developed (albeit not fast enough?), and the target market is becoming more mainstream.

    What needs to happen to facilitate the projected growth?

    We will discuss key products, marketing approaches of the vehicle makers, what potential customers want (and fear), opportunities as battery and electronic technologies evolve, and the products most important to reach high volumes and facilitate company profits.

    We will identify some of the potential winners and losers among the vehicle makers and suppliers, both within the current industry and beyond.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Review of Current Sales and Products, Forecasted to 2025
    • Product Range Moving Across Segments to Target the Mainstream Buyer
    • Regulation in the US and Beyond Is Moving the Market
    • Regulation Matters, But Company Strategies and Consumer Preferences Matter More
    • Trends in Batteries, Range, and Cost

    Augment Your Battery Research With Non-Ambient In Operando XRD

    Recently, in operando research on batteries with XRD system in room temperature has provided great understanding on the dynamic migration of the electrode materials during the charge cycle. However, a battery may work perfectly at ambient temperature, but actual environment may cause unexpected performance degradation and safety risks. To investigate battery stability under non-ambient conditions, we are introducing 2 variable temperature electrochemical cell (VTEC) battery stages with heating and cooling feature between -10°C and 70°C on the Empyrean XRD platform. In combination with comprehensive instruments control software and powerful data visualization and analysis tools made for large XRD datasets in HighScore Plus, we provide the most advanced in operando in situ solutions to accelerate your battery research.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Advanced non-ambient in operando studies on batteries with Empyrean XRD system
    • Synergy amongst potentiostat, Empyrean and temperature controller
    • Fully automated data analysis with HighScore Plus
    o electrode phase identification and quantification
    o crystal structure and defects analysis
    o cluster analysis
    o intuitive and powerful visualization tools made for in-operando experiments
