  The Future of LFP Batteries From a Patent Landscape Perspective

  LFP (lithium iron phosphate) has become a key battery technology in the market, competing with NCM. Being both cheaper than NCM batteries, while also offering superior safety characteristics, they have attracted great interest. China’s leadership in LFP has caused many battery players previously focused on NCM to enter the LFP market as well. While LFP batteries also have some disadvantages compared to NCM, such as lower energy density, poor charging performance at low temperatures, and recycling difficulties, many new technologies are being introduced to solve these problems. This talk will review the future of LFP batteries using patent analysis techniques to understand technological development in this area.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Why LFP batteries are attracting attention
  • Why Chinese players dominate the LFP battery market
  • Challenges presented by LFP batteries and potential solutions
  • Can Korean and US companies become leaders in LFP technology?

  Battery Management System Impacts on Energy Storage

  Battery management systems impact the utility, effectiveness, and life of an energy storage system. Passive balancing is less expensive than active balancing, but weaker cells or modules may need to be replaced near the end of the ESS’s lifespan. Active balancing transfers energy from stronger to weaker cells, but at a higher system cost and design complexity.

  System down time is associated with both approaches and carries such a high opportunity cost that innovations in this area may be of greater importance than the type of balancing being employed.

  Join Nuvation Energy CEO Michael Worry for an exploration of the current state of the art in battery cell balancing, and how BMS innovations will impact the future of stationary energy storage.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • A stationary ESS orientation on battery management
  • Understanding balancing-related down time
  • Comparing active and passive balancing
  • Innovations in battery management

  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
