    Batteries are Complicated

    Much like other global platform technologies that came before them (e.g., the internet, microchips), batteries represent for today’s businesses both enormous challenge and enormous opportunity. Get batteries right, and you can create a huge competitive advantage and trillions of dollars of value (see Apple, Tesla). Get them wrong and face multi-billion dollar recalls and incalculable brand damage.

    It can be overwhelming trying to stay on top of these trends or determine which battery to bet on. New tools are needed in order to maximize value from batteries and, perhaps more importantly, to avoid costly missteps.

    Join us for a discussion about how “batteries are complicated” — what we mean by that, and what it means for you.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Batteries are impacting every technology application and corner of our lives — representing both enormous challenge and opportunity
    • Battery technology is constantly evolving. While lithium-ion batteries established market dominance, there is still enormous variation across form factors, chemical formulations, internal components — not to mention continuous improvements to enhance 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

    EIS for Energy Storage Tutorial Course 3/3 – Application Examples in Energy Storage Taken From The Literature

    This presentation will give some examples of applications of EIS to various types of energy storage – for example, intercalation batteries (LFP, LCO, NiCd, NiMH etc.), lead acid batteries, and redox flow batteries. The examples are taken from research literature. The review will not be exhaustive, but it will provide examples that are considered relevant. For each application, some elements of comparison between EIS and DC methods will be given.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Examples in insertion batteries
    • Examples in lead acid batteries
    • Examples in redox flow batteries
    • Examples in supercapacitors
    • Comparison with DC methods
