  Building Better Batteries using RaiCure™ PFAS and Solvent-Free Electrode Manufacturing

  Nearly 85% of battery costs are driven by the electrode, a thin-film composite that remains a significant bottleneck in manufacturing due to reliance on costly equipment, high operating expenses, and toxic solvents. Ateios Systems, a leader in battery component innovation, will present an overview of electrode manufacturing, comparing solvent-based, solvent-free, and dry-processing technologies. Central to this discussion is Ateios’ groundbreaking RaiCure™ process, which enables solvent- and forever-chemical-free production of RaiCore™ electrodes. The recently released High Voltage Lithium Cobalt Oxide (HV LCO) electrode, powered by RaiCure™, offers a 20% improvement in battery capacity (175–200 mAh/g vs. 150 mAh/g). Ateios and its production partners can produce nearly 200 MWh of electrodes that are accessible to cathode suppliers, battery OEMs, and electronics OEMs for purchase.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Introduction to battery slurry mixing and electrode coating
  • Pros/cons of existing & emerging (solvent-free/dry) electrode manufacturing solutions
  • Performance & production data of RaiCure-based electrodes
  • Inception to production of Ateios’ electrode manufacturing services

  Optimizing Battery Separator Performance with Advanced Pore Characterization

  Lithium-ion battery separators play a critical role in ensuring safety, performance, and longevity. This webinar explores advanced pore characterization techniques, Capillary Flow Porometry (CFP) and Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP), used to analyze separator materials. We’ll discuss the differences between through and blind pores, and how these affect battery function. Using experimental data from Celgard monolayer and trilayer separators, we’ll demonstrate how pore size distribution, bubble point, and porosity impact battery design. Attendees will gain insights into how these measurements guide material selection and improve battery reliability.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Role of Separators in Li-Ion Battery Safety and Efficiency
  • Techniques for Pore Characterization: Capillary Flow Porometry vs Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry
  • Understanding Through vs Blind Pores
  • Experimental Insights from Celgard Separator Analysis
  • Implications for Battery Design and Manufacturing

  Advancements in Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) for Battery Research

  Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is used industrially for depositing nanometers-to-microns of a material to produce functional layers/alter surface properties. The technique is paramount in pioneering the development of solid-state/lithium-ion batteries.

  Key solid-state challenges are impedance at the cathode-electrolyte interface, volumetric energy density, and dendrites/crack formation during cycling. PVD is ideally suited to manufacturing promising solutions, whilst allowing high-throughput screening of novel material compositions to enhance electrochemical properties.

  The HEX is a cost-effective system, mountable beneath an existing glovebox for fully inert development. The unique configuration maximizes glovebox space and enables easy atmosphere-side modification/cleaning. The high modularity facilitates changes without specialist tools, enabling rapid changes in research approach without additional costs. Integration of sputtering/thermal/e-beam/organic evaporation/substrate heating allows extensive material production capabilities.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • PVD techniques used to produce functional layers/alter surface properties
  • Development of model systems to study interfacial phenomena
  • High throughput screening of novel materials to enhance electrochemical properties
  • Introduction to the HEX series of PVD instrument and its key advantages for research, including unique mounting position below the glovebox

  Latest Advancements in Calorimetry for Battery Performance and Safety

  This presentation covers two essential calorimetric techniques for performance and safety testing of high-energy batteries. Starting with THT’s latest innovation, the IBCx, an isothermal battery calorimeter that delivers precise thermal control, providing crucial insights into the effects of C-rates on heat output, efficiency, and temperature during charge and discharge cycles. The IBCx also allows for quick measurement of heat capacity within the same system.

  As the battery market shifts toward larger, higher-capacity cells in the form of long, thin blade cells, THT has developed its largest adiabatic ARC. The ARC is designed to evaluate the thermal stability and safety limits of these batteries under extreme conditions such as elevated temperatures, overcharge, short circuit and nail penetration. The presentation also highlights complementary test methods including online gas analysis.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Principles of isothermal and adiabatic calorimetry testing for high-energy batteries
  • Advantages and limitations of these two methods
  • New product developments from THT to address market demand for testing of large format, high-capacity cells
  • Integration of on-line gas analysis with ARC testing
