High voltage cathode materials, dendrite-preventing electrolytes, and new anode architectures often grab headlines. But what may send shockwaves through the battery industry is the winner of the patent and trade secret battle being waged by SK Nexilis Co., Ltd. and Solus Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. The spoils of war being the right to make and sell copper foils used for current collectors in electric vehicle batteries. With parallel litigation occurring in the United States, South Korea, and Europe, and patent invalidation proceedings before the US Patent Office, this case is one to watch for battery manufacturers worldwide. This talk will highlight the procedural posture and the intellectual property tools being brought to bear by both sides in this on-going dispute.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Building patent thickets around single battery components
• Trade secret rights complementary to battery manufacturing patent rights
• Strategically acquiring foreign patent rights with high investment returns
• Value of patents given the increased institutional denial of proceedings to invalidate patents

Battery Intelligence in Action – How to Launch an EV
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
Launching a new EV platform is a high-stakes game, where any problems encountered during battery pack development can severely jeopardize target ship dates. Developing an EV battery pack is a lengthy process comprising multiple interconnected stages that span from choosing the right cell to integrating the full pack into the vehicle. Each of these stages is complex and involves function-specific battery testing and analysis. This webinar will walk through each stage of EV pack development in detail, and will highlight how an integrated Battery Intelligence platform can drive an on-time launch and ensure quality and traceability, while minimizing risk throughout the vehicle lifecycle.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Discuss how the battery is the most complex and costly component in the development of an EV, and is the component most likely to delay launch
• Review the complex multi-step process required to develop an EV pack and demystify pack development from cell selection through vehicle integration
• Showcase an interactive demonstration of key analyticsPresenter

Measurements That Accelerate Battery Development
FREE Webinar – Metrohm is a proud sponsor of this event.
Material damage and defects in separators and collectors can ultimately cause thermal runaway and lead to failure of the cell. Improved design of these key components is vital for safer batteries, and proper testing early in the development process ensures high performance.
In this webinar, battery expert Brian Morin, CEO of Soteria Battery Innovation Group, will reveal new architectures that lead to safer cell performance. Reza Fathi, Product Specialist from Metrohm Autolab, will discuss the use of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for Li-ion battery analysis. Using case studies and real-world examples, they will also describe why performance-predictive electrical and electrochemical measurements are necessary to accelerate the development process.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• How to design separators and current collectors to deter thermal runaway
• How to utilize bench-top measurements as screening tools during early cell development to reduce time and expense
• How temperature-controlled impedance measurements lead to advanced materials analysis
• Electrochemical techniques to test and evaluate Li-ion cellsPresenters

Advanced Techniques For Addressing Issues in Battery Safety and Performance Using Adiabatic Calorimetry
FREE Webinar – THT is a proud sponsor of this event.
Adiabatic calorimetry is a widely utilized technique within the field of battery safety research. The method has been adapted from the chemical industry to address a significant range of safety and performance tests on battery components, cells and even modules.
Although a number of different battery tests may be employed using the ARC, interpretation of results is not always straightforward. Some of the principles which apply to ARC chemical testing do not translate directly to battery testing due to the variable nature of samples.
This presentation describes both the advantages and limitations of ARC testing on batteries and how the ARC test can be adapted to address different questions in battery research as well as quality control.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The principles of adiabatic calorimetry (ARC)
• How calorimetry can be used in battery testing
• What we learn from battery testing by calorimetry
• Pressure measurement and gas collection during thermal runaway
• Advanced testing techniques in adiabatic battery calorimetryPresenter

Lithium Ion Capacitors – Combining Energy with Power
FREE Webinar – JSR Micro, Inc. is a proud sponsor of this event.
Lithium Ion Capacitors (LIC) are hybrids of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) and lithium ion batteries (LIB). Combining the reversible non-Faradaic cathode from an EDLC and the reversible Faradaic anode from an LIB results in an ultra or super capacitor with significantly increased energy density, improved float performance and low self-discharge rates. Avoiding the lithium metal oxide cathodes from LIB’s improves the inherent safety and eliminates Cobalt content, however still combines aspects of energy & power of both cell types. The Faradaic intercalation/deintercalation reactions at the anode are capable of generating a significant amount of charge, while the non-Faradaic electrostatic storage of the electrical energy formed at the interface of the electrode and the electrolyte, known as an electric double layer, results in fast charge and discharge capabilities for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of cycles.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• What is an LIC? Technology Introduction
• Key Benefits
• Safety
• EDLC vs LIC
• ApplicationsPresenter
