    Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) in Solid-State Battery Development – A Novel and Cost-Effective Approach

    Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a method widely used across industry to deposit a very thin layer of a material on a surface to alter its properties. The technique has been utilized in various areas of battery research, including solid-state batteries.

    A key challenge with solid state batteries is the high impedance at the interface between the cathode and the electrolyte. PVD is ideally suited to develop model systems to study and look to improve this problem.

    PVD also allows high throughput screening of different materials to accelerate new composition developments with enhanced electrochemical properties.

    The HEX series of PVD instruments has some key benefits for battery research. It is a cost-effective solution that is mounted below an existing glovebox, allowing continued use of the glovebox for other purposes and easy access to the vacuum chamber for modification and cleaning. The highly modular nature allows configuration changes without specialist tools, enabling changes in research direction without additional costs.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • PVD techniques are a valuable tool in a wide spectrum of battery research
    • Develop model systems to study interfacial phenomena
    • High throughput screening of different materials to accelerate new composition developments with enhanced electrochemical properties
    • Introduction to the HEX series of PVD instrument and its unique advantages for research

    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

    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
