Recently, in operando research on batteries with XRD system in room temperature has provided great understanding on the dynamic migration of the electrode materials during the charge cycle. However, a battery may work perfectly at ambient temperature, but actual environment may cause unexpected performance degradation and safety risks. To investigate battery stability under non-ambient conditions, we are introducing 2 variable temperature electrochemical cell (VTEC) battery stages with heating and cooling feature between -10°C and 70°C on the Empyrean XRD platform. In combination with comprehensive instruments control software and powerful data visualization and analysis tools made for large XRD datasets in HighScore Plus, we provide the most advanced in operando in situ solutions to accelerate your battery research.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Advanced non-ambient in operando studies on batteries with Empyrean XRD system
• Synergy amongst potentiostat, Empyrean and temperature controller
• Fully automated data analysis with HighScore Plus
o electrode phase identification and quantification
o crystal structure and defects analysis
o cluster analysis
o intuitive and powerful visualization tools made for in-operando experiments

Battery Selection Tutorial Course 2/3: Beyond the Standards: Device-Specific Testing
After choosing your cell and manufacturer (Part 1 of this series), most likely, they will have passed the tests of various standards organizations. However, depending on your operating environment, you may need to go above and beyond the baseline to ensure your product operates as intended. This webinar is Part 2 in a three-part series and will review a variety of factors to consider in your device-specific testing, including designing tests to predict the outcomes of various user-abuse scenarios, understanding the mechanisms of gas generation, capacity retention based on different voltage windows, and what happens if you need to cycle your cells outside of their operating range (outside in an Arizona summer or Minnesota winter, for example).
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• User-abuse scenarios to prevent against
• Causes and effects of various gas generation mechanisms
• Voltage limitsPresenter

Update on Zinc Hybrid Cathode Battery Technology: Lessons Learned from Demo Projects with Major Utilities in US & Europe
With no economical means to store energy, the utility distribution network has typically been overbuilt and continually expanded to serve peak demand, though only a fraction of that infrastructure is used on an average day.
Working closely with utility partners like AEP and Con Edison, Eos Energy Storage has evaluated the economics of battery storage on the distribution system, with compelling results. Using first-hand knowledge of system costs and specifications, it was found that a utility-owned battery system can break even with a conventional T&D upgrade of ~$5M, or less when monetizing available market revenues.
In this webinar, Eos will share an update on commercialization of its zinc hybrid cathode battery technology and share lessons learned from deployments with major utilities in the US and Europe, from initial business case analysis to commissioning a turnkey product.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Discuss how energy storage can be leveraged as a utility distribution asset and market resource
• Share Eos’s experience in deploying energy storage systems at utility sites in the US and Europe
• Update on performance and path to commercialization for novel zinc hybrid cathode battery technologyPresenter

Determination of Battery Safety and Performance Parameters Using Adiabatic and Isothermal Calorimetry
FREE Webinar – Thermal Hazard Technology is a proud sponsor of this event.
This presentation describes two main types of calorimetry which can be used to carry out safety and performance testing on batteries. Isothermal calorimeters allow for direct heat measurement on cells during use, while adiabatic calorimeters can measure heat released from batteries during thermal runaway.
Calorimetry can serve as a quantitative scientific method for evaluation of battery safety but it requires appropriate instrumentation. The principles of operation of both types of calorimeters are described along with specific applications within the field of battery testing.
A combination of both technics allows for detailed thermal characterization of lithium-ion and other rechargeable cells, and differences due to chemistry, cell design, cell age, state of charge and cell size can be evaluated.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The principles of adiabatic and isothermal calorimetry
• How calorimetry can be used in battery testing
• Parameters established by adiabatic safety testing
• Parameters established by isothermal performance testing
• Pressure measurement and gas collectionPresenter

Accelerating Launch of New Battery Technologies by Expediting Samples Through Collaborative Partnerships
Polaris is a processing lab that accelerates new lithium ion battery developments resulting in faster delivery of samples. It provides processing services to accelerate the optimization of recipes for battery developers. Using its services, customers can avoid delays in launching products due to internal funding and staffing constraints.
Services include anode and cathode electrode mix and coat trials, pouch stack cell assemblies, cell and material analytical testing services, business advisory services, and a link to high volume production.
Two major roadblocks facing battery technology companies are addressed: 1) Startups lack staffing, process knowledge, funding, and equipment to develop samples, and 2) Commercialization of new battery technologies is capital intensive and takes long time to pass quality standards
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Significant new material inventions in lithium ion and other advanced battery chemistries in the US
• Two primary issues or “gaps” in getting these technologies to the market
– generating samples for investors, customers and internal engineering evaluation and optimization
– building a battery factory and gaining product and quality system approval (a huge undertaking)
• Polaris Battery Labs Capability Overview for samples and commercialization
• Partner Profile; Carestream Heath as a contract coating partner to reduce time-to-market and risksPresenter
