    Solid-State Batteries – The Key Enabling Technology in Advanced Electric Vehicles

    The ‘EV Everywhere Grand Challenge’ has led to extensive research and development of battery technologies with high energy density. To date, state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries (SOA LIBs) based on alkali metal ion intercalation cathodes and anodes have been widely adopted in plug-in hybrid and niche high performance electric vehicles. However, concern with the ultimate limits of SOA LIBs related to their energy density, weight and safety suggests the need for alternatives over the long term. Solid-state batteries (SSBs) have been recognized as an ideal solution that can enable energy densities beyond those of SOA LIBs by utilizing Li metal anode and high voltage cathode, while delivering long cycle life and improved safety. As the key component of SSB, solid-state electrolyte (SSE) replaces the porous separator/ liquid electrolyte to act as a physical barrier and mechanically suppress the formation and penetration of Li dendrites. However, successful development and commercialization of SSBs requires fundamental research related to enhancing the SSE ionic conductivity, stabilizing the     electrolyte/ electrode interfaces, cell and pack manufacturing methods, development of battery management systems, and efficient battery pack designs. In this webinar, the practices and principles that have been proposed for dealing with core problems related to SSBs as well as future research avenues that will encourage the adoption of SSBs in real application will be discussed.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • The microstructure role and SSE composition on the Li+ conduction behavior
    • Design and development of an effective electrode-electrolyte interface in SSBs
    • Mechanistic origins of Li dendrite growth in SSEs and approaches to mitigate the dendrite penetration
    • Manufacturing challenges related to mass production of SSBs

    Low Data Machine Learning for Accelerated Degradation Prediction of Lithium-ion Batteries

    Meeting the demand for reliable energy storage, this work presents a machine-learning model for precise cycle life prediction in lithium-ion batteries (LIB). It explores battery aging features, utilizes data-driven methods for health assessment, and applies machine learning to predict cycle life. To address data limitations, synthetic data generation is employed, enhancing prediction accuracy. The presentation concludes by demonstrating the practical deployment of the proposed ML model for accelerated degradation prediction (for battery cell development and manufacturing feedback) and onboard deployment of low data AI on in-operation energy management. Discussions cover crucial aspects such as battery aging, data-driven health measurement, and the model’s versatility in handling accidental effects during operation.
