Failure Analysis of Next Generation Si Based Anodes
Silicon (Si) is an attractive alternative to graphite due to its high theoretical capacity of 3500 mAh-g-1 and its high abundance on earth. Unfortunately, Si is plagued by significant volume expansion during charge/discharge, upwards of 300%. As a result, researchers and companies have focused their attention on mitigating the disadvantages of Si. With various methods the aim is to create a Si based anode that has a stability comparable or better then graphite. With increasing interest, it is important to discuss and determine abuse testing and failure analysis techniques that can effectively determine the durability of these new anodes.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Why is it important to look at alternative anodes to graphite?
• The advantages and disadvantages of Si based anodes
• Creation of new anodes to alleviate the disadvantages of Si
• Customized abuse testing and failure analysis of Si based anode cellsPresenter

Battery Management System Impacts on Energy Storage
Battery management systems impact the utility, effectiveness, and life of an energy storage system. Passive balancing is less expensive than active balancing, but weaker cells or modules may need to be replaced near the end of the ESS’s lifespan. Active balancing transfers energy from stronger to weaker cells, but at a higher system cost and design complexity.
System down time is associated with both approaches and carries such a high opportunity cost that innovations in this area may be of greater importance than the type of balancing being employed.
Join Nuvation Energy CEO Michael Worry for an exploration of the current state of the art in battery cell balancing, and how BMS innovations will impact the future of stationary energy storage.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• A stationary ESS orientation on battery management
• Understanding balancing-related down time
• Comparing active and passive balancing
• Innovations in battery managementPresenter

The Future of LFP Batteries From a Patent Landscape Perspective
LFP (lithium iron phosphate) has become a key battery technology in the market, competing with NCM. Being both cheaper than NCM batteries, while also offering superior safety characteristics, they have attracted great interest. China’s leadership in LFP has caused many battery players previously focused on NCM to enter the LFP market as well. While LFP batteries also have some disadvantages compared to NCM, such as lower energy density, poor charging performance at low temperatures, and recycling difficulties, many new technologies are being introduced to solve these problems. This talk will review the future of LFP batteries using patent analysis techniques to understand technological development in this area.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Why LFP batteries are attracting attention
• Why Chinese players dominate the LFP battery market
• Challenges presented by LFP batteries and potential solutions
• Can Korean and US companies become leaders in LFP technology?Presenters
