  Methods and Instrumentation for Testing Li-ion Batteries, Materials to Modules

  We will walk through different phases of research from material development, characterization of cells and stacks, and advanced diagnostics on modules for Electric Vehicles. Attendees will have the opportunity to listen to and speak with the innovators of the frequency response analyzer (Solatron Analytical) and the digital potentiostat (Princeton Applied Research).

  Features of instrumentation will be translated into benefits for users. Data from many different solutions will be presented; highlighted by the recently concluded UK-based consortium to rapidly grade the State-of-Health of NISSAN Leaf modules.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Electrochemical methods used to characterize Li-ion batteries:  materials, cells, stacks, and modules
  • Benefits of accuracy and resolution on performance tests of Energy Devices
  • Mapping of experiment techniques and test methods to instrument specifications
  • How AMETEK’s portfolio meets these similar but uniquely defined needs at different points of the value chain

  Combining Characterization Techniques for Supporting Development of Batteries

  The complexity and scale of different physical-chemical processes inside batteries render any development to be strongly dependent on their proper description and monitoring, from nano-scale to the system-scale. Using different case studies solved by the TEESMAT platform, we will demonstrate how the combination of standard and advanced characterization techniques can support the development of new batteries. Among some examples, we will present:

  – Probing the failure mechanisms of new ultra-capacitors
  – Analyzing commercial Li-ion cells for envisaging a second life (safety)
  – Understanding the copper oxidation phenomena during the fabrication process
  – Quality control of electrodes
  – Fine characterization of polymer based electrolyte for future Li-ion batteries

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Complexity of electrochemical energy storage systems
  • Efficient characterization tools – from nano-scale to pack size
  • Case studies on full value chain – material level, electrochemical mechanisms, production processes, safety, and increased device performance

  Will Lithium-Sulfur Batteries be Part of the Future of Energy Storage?

  Lithium-sulfur batteries can displace lithium-ion by delivering higher specific energy at a lower cost. Presently, however, the superior energy performance fades rapidly due to instability issues of the electrodes and the electrolyte. Extensive research and considerable progress over the past ten years have solved the instability issue of the sulfur electrode to a large extent. However, the formidable challenges of the more difficult electrode, lithium metal, (safety and cyclability) are yet to be resolved. Therefore, Lithium-Sulfur battery research programs should have at their heart, stabilizing the lithium electrode, as addressing it is predicted to ensure a rapid transition to commercial level life-spans. After all, the highest specific energy can be achieved by battery chemistries that utilize lithium metal as the negative electrode.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • What’s so good about sulfur?
  • Great capacity brings great stress!
  • Will we see the revolutionary return of Lithium metal?
  • Electrolyte challenges (we need too much of it but it’s heavy!)
  • Current status and future prospects

  All Solid-State Batteries and the Future of Energy Storage

  The development of all solid-state batteries (ASSBs) has seen tremendous progress in recent years. However, several barriers still need to be overcome before ASSBs can be commercialized. These obstacles include poor interfacial stability, scalability challenges as well as the difficulty to precisely diagnose problems within the cell. Additionally, efforts to develop sustainable recyclability in lithium ion batteries are still lacking. In this webinar, we discuss SSEs chemistries and its implications on interfacial stability. We also cover the current state-of-the-art characterization techniques and evaluate future ASSB prototyping strategies. Finally, we hope to discuss potential strategies toward a sustainable ASSB recycling model to address the growing lithium ion battery waste problem.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Overview of solid-state batteries and solid-state electrolyte research
  • Importance of interfacial stability – correlate chemical, electrochemical and mechanical-induced reactions
  • Challenges for diagnosis / characterization of buried interfaces and lithium dendrites
  • Scalable fabrication considerations of commercialized all-solid-state batteries
  • Sustainability – Battery recycling concerns of Cost, Efficiency and the Environment
