Welcome Note (Chairperson: Dr. John Warner – Chief Customer Officer at American Battery Solutions)

About Dr. John Warner

Professor Kelsey Hatzell - Princeton University

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY (Tutorial A): Seeing is Believing – Insights into X-Ray and Electron Imaging Tools for Solid State Batteries

This tutorial will survey the range of characterization tools available for dynamically examining solid state batteries. The tutorial will discuss the opportunities and trade-offs for the various interrogation probes. X-ray and electron tools will be discussed in detail as they relate to alkali metal anodes and high voltage cathodes.

About Professor Kelsey Hatzell - Princeton University

Professor Zhenan Bao and Rachel Huang – Stanford University

STANFORD UNIVERSITY (Tutorial B): Organic Material Design for Lithium Batteries

This talk will cover material design studies for both lithium metal batteries (LMBs) and Li-ion batteries (LIBs): Polymer coatings and liquid electrolytes for LMBs; porous current collectors for hybrid LMBs and LIBs; polymer-based safe, stretchable, or recyclable electrolytes for LIBs.

Kent Griffith - University of California San Diego

UCSD (Tutorial C): Pushing the Boundaries of Nickel-Rich Cathode Chemistry for Long-Range EV Batteries

Nickel-rich lithium-ion battery cathode materials, including NMC and NCA, can provide high energy density while minimizing the use of cobalt. However, as the nickel content increases, material degradation can be severe, limiting the usable cycle life. In this talk, we will go through the degradation mechanisms affecting nickel-rich cathodes including microcracking, transition metal dissolution, parasitic […]

Dee Strand - Wildcat Discovery

WILDCAT DISCOVERY (Tutorial D): Beyond Graphite Anodes

This tutorial will introduce benefits and challenges to both silicon-based and lithium anodes for high energy density lithium ion cells. The effects of volumetric changes on cycling for both materials will be discussed. In addition, a review of dendrite formation and proposed methods of mitigation will be covered for lithium metal anodes.

Todd Ostomel – Squire Patton Boggs

SQUIRE PATTON BOGGS (Tutorial F): Is University IP Worth It?

Research universities are at the forefront of innovation and disruptive technology. They are abundant sources of new intellectual property. But the road from the benchtop to market is long, winding, and uncertain. In view of this, is university intellectual property valuable, particularly so in the battery field? This tutorial will highlight patent timing, ownership, licensing, […]
