    Batteries are Complicated

    Much like other global platform technologies that came before them (e.g., the internet, microchips), batteries represent for today’s businesses both enormous challenge and enormous opportunity. Get batteries right, and you can create a huge competitive advantage and trillions of dollars of value (see Apple, Tesla). Get them wrong and face multi-billion dollar recalls and incalculable brand damage.

    It can be overwhelming trying to stay on top of these trends or determine which battery to bet on. New tools are needed in order to maximize value from batteries and, perhaps more importantly, to avoid costly missteps.

    Join us for a discussion about how “batteries are complicated” — what we mean by that, and what it means for you.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Batteries are impacting every technology application and corner of our lives — representing both enormous challenge and opportunity
    • Battery technology is constantly evolving. While lithium-ion batteries established market dominance, there is still enormous variation across form factors, chemical formulations, internal components — not to mention continuous improvements to enhance performance

    Solid-State Li-Ion Batteries – Key Technology Approaches & Time-to-Market

    Attendees will learn which solid-state batteries have been launched already into beachhead markets, and which technology barriers for now prevent deployment in mass EV applications. Risks & opportunities identified in IP portfolios by large battery & automotive manufacturers and key startups will be compared with go-to-market & technology readiness statements. Finally, we will explain why hybrid battery packs or cells based on both liquid and solid electrolytes could potentially accelerate the automotive adoption of solid-state batteries.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Solid-state Li-ion batteries
    • Key innovation approaches & global patent literature
    • Time-to-market with respect to key applications: electronics/IoT, medical implants, automotive/rolling stock, stationary energy storage
    • Examples of solid electrolyte, cathode & anode selection
    • Combination of solid electrolytes with liquid electrolytes at the pack or cell level

    Characterizing Catalytic Inks for Fuel Cells

    Catalytic inks are key components when balancing cost, performance, and durability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC’s). Scaling up PEMFC production requires careful control of the ink to produce uniform electrode layers that use as little precious metal catalyst as possible. Particle size and dispersion critically impact the behavior of the ink and resulting performance of the electrode layers. X-ray diffraction, laser diffraction, dynamic light scattering, and X-ray fluorescence are characterization techniques with proven ability to scale-up in support of mass production that, when combined, provide a comprehensive overview of the particles in catalytic ink mixtures.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • X-Ray Diffraction
    • Laser Diffraction
    • X-Ray Fluorescence
    • Dynamic Light Scattering

    These techniques each probe a different size regime and, when combined, provide a comprehensive overview of the particles in the catalytic ink mixture.
