ADVANCES IN CELL DESIGN & MANUFACTURING
セル設計と製造の進歩
Solid-State Electrolyte and Liquid Electrolyte + Separator
John Zhang, PhD, CTO/CSO, Asahi Kasei SSBU Polypore, Celgard LLC
Solid-State Electrolyte Battery (SSEB) frequently being quoted as the next-generation or future batteries. It has been claimed high safety, high energy density, etc. for many years. Reality check? Here we compare SSEB and traditional Liquid Electrolyte + Separator Battery (LESB), newly claimed Semi Solid Battery(SSB) from a point of view of fundamental electrochemistry and practical industrial production. Without detailed problems, discussion of the SSEB such as anode selections, and the lithium-ion transport between solid particles in the solid phase cathode could be a major hurdle for battery performance. We will discuss SSEB, LESB, and SSB together for commercial production and applications of these batteries. For high energy density, battery safety, commercial production, and clean energy needs today, it looks like the best battery system could still be the existing commercial Li-ion battery systems.

This presentation will explore research and development efforts at Argonne National Laboratory focused on enabling new designs in high Mn, low Ni, Co-free cathodes towards diversifying the portfolio of viable materials for commercial applications.

Thanh Nguyen, Senior Vice President, Deployment, 6K Energy
Domestic battery material production is necessary to secure our supply chain for the demand of batteries for the growth of the EV market. Questions to ask are: Can it be done in a cost-effective way? Can it be done sustainably and with low environmental impact? Is there a technology that can cost-effectively upcycle old battery cathode material into new modern cathode material and is it a sustainable process?
Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing10:00 am


A battery chemical or cell manufacturing facility is often designed and constructed in two parts. The process is engineered by a technology supplier with vendor support. The building, utilities and infrastructure is designed by a third-party. A general contractor is appointed to assemble the facility using multiple suppliers. This results in many engineering and construction coordination challenges for the project. An alternative delivery model is reviewed to address these challenges.

Simon Nelms, Senior Manager Vertical Marketing, Industrial, Thermo Fisher Scientific
Learn how Thermo Fisher Scientific technologies can help to solve your challenges - whether in the lab or on the production line. Our solutions and technologies touch every part of battery manufacturing, from the extraction and processing of raw materials, to quality assurance in the production line, to the research and development of the next generation of batteries.
Battery Power for Electric Aviation
George M. Cintra, CTO, R&D, EaglePicher Technologies LLC
Electrifying aerospace propulsion is considered a key strategy to reduce environmental impact from aviation as well as improve fuel efficiency. A core technical challenge is achieving the necessary specific power and energy density to meet the demanding requirements for new electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOL’s) and hybrid-electric systems, as well as delivering safe and reliable Li-ion cells and battery systems to meet rigorous governmental regulations. This presentation will discuss advancements in materials and cell architectures designed to meet the current and future requirements for this rapidly growing segment, including impacts of design choices, manufacturing, and implementation.

Michael Leiber, Regional Sales Manager, E-Mobility and Battery Solutions, Manz USA, Inc.
One key topic in battery module manufacturing is the quality of the laser welds of the current collectors to the single cells. From throughput, yield, cost to safety, maintenance and reliability, the understanding of the laser weld quality and how to improve the process are key topics. We will show how successful we have been in integrating both the laser welding monitoring and AI on our BLS500 laser welding system.

If a Lithium-ion Cell Can Operate for More Than 6 Months at 85°C How Long Can It Last at Ambient Temperature?
Jeff Dahn, FRSC, PhD, Professor of Physics and Atmospheric Science, NSERC/Tesla Canada Industrial Research Chair, Canada Research Chair, Dalhousie University
In a few of our recent papers, we have presented Li-ion cell designs with liquid electrolytes that give astounding lifetime at temperatures as high as 85°C. In fact, we have been testing these cells now at 100°C and they are operating well for more than one month so far. I will discuss what is required to make such awesome cells and then consider what their lifetime at ambient temperature might be. I will show that the energy density of these cells is very reasonable and that Co-free moderate-nickel designs also work equally well.
Next-Generation Batteries - An Update on Li Metal Battery and All Solid-State Battery
