Next-Generation Batteries in Korea – Key Players and Legal Issues
Korean battery companies are among the world’s leaders in the field of lithium-ion batteries. However, whether these companies can maintain their leadership with next-generation batteries (such as solid state batteries) is currently unclear. We analyze the patent portfolios of the major Korean battery players to better understand what next-generation battery technologies they may be developing, and draw some conclusions regarding which players and technologies may be best placed to succeed. We also look at various legal and regulatory issues that are critical to understand when working with Korean companies and employees, particularly in view of new and proposed Korean regulations aimed at preventing leakage of cutting-edge battery technology to foreign companies.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Review of major Korean battery market players (Samsung SDI, LG Energy Solution, SK Innovations)
• Analysis of solid state battery patents with focus on Korean players
• Potential winners in the next-generation battery market
• Legal issues in working with Korean battery companies or employeesPresenters

Enabling High-Rate Lithium Metal Anodes by Tailored Structures and Interfaces
Oxide-based solid-state Li-batteries (SSLiBs) have the potential to be a transformational and intrinsically safe energy storage solution, due to their non-flammable ceramic electrolyte that enables the use of high-capacity Li metal anodes and high voltage cathodes for higher energy density over a much wider operating temperature range. However, their progress has been limited due to electrode/electrolyte interfacial issues. In particular, for Li-metal anodes concerns over dendrite formation/propagation and the requirement for elevated temperature and high stack pressure are still prevalent. To eliminate these concerns, a rational design of tailored structures and interfaces in Li-metal anodes will be presented. In addition, progress toward full cells using these tailored structures and interfaces will be presented.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Li-metal wetting of oxide electrolyte interface
• Effect of oxide surface defects on Li dendrite formation
• Effect of 3D structure on localized current density
• Avoiding stack pressure to maintain uniform Li/oxide contactPresenter
