  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

  The US Electric Vehicle Market – Ruled by Demand or Supply?

  Sales of battery electrics are surging, but the market is unsettled. High prices have hurt demand, as high costs due to lack of scale and supplier and manufacturer production problems have occurred.

  Short-term financial pressures and regulatory requirements, which do not require high BEV volumes in the short-term, enable companies to back off on the timing and extent of some of their investments.

  But 2026 looks a lot different than 2024, and the North American market does not operate in a vacuum. We will address what companies have achieved, where they’ve come up short, and what the future holds.

  We will also assess the outlook for industry participants as changes in production, manufacturing and design techniques, regulation, and battery technologies evolve.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Current Sales and Products forecasted to 2030
  • Company plans are in flux for multiple reasons
  • Regulatory impact is significant and unclear
  • The evolving Battery and Materials market adds uncertainty and opportunity

  Manufacturing Analytics to Improve Battery Quality and Accelerate Factory Ramp

  The battery industry is racing to develop new manufacturing capacity as the EV and energy storage industries continue to outpace market expectations. Companies across the battery ecosystem have begun building new factories while facing the reality of long yield ramp times, supply chain immaturity, and a shortage of expertise — the typical gigafactory will take several years & billions in investment before reaching profitability.

  In this webinar, we’ll review the industry’s first software solution that enables battery manufacturers to rapidly understand cell quality and the link to upstream production and materials characteristics. This insight, when paired with the ability to control and improve production quality at unprecedented speeds, helps accelerate production ramp and improve overall cell quality.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Challenges around battery manufacturing scale-up and quality across industries
  • Understanding parallels from the semiconductor industry
  • Accelerating production ramp and improving yield, while reducing costs
  • Leveraging AI and ML capabilities to surface quality problems ASAP
  • How a fully integrated analytics solution can speed up battery 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
