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.

次世代型の電子機器の開発と設計
The Path to Transforming an Industry that Will Benefit Consumers, Professional Users, and the Planet
Mattias Simonsson, Director, Global Sourcing, Stanley Black & Decker
Outdoor power equipment, such as riding lawn mowers and snowthrowers, have traditionally been powered by internal combustion engines with very limited pollution controls and high noise levels. These environmental factors coupled with legislation mandating the transition to electric-powered equipment has made this industry a prime target for electrification. This presentation outlines a path to transforming an industry that will benefit consumers, professional users, and the planet.
Battery Electrodes: Nano- vs Micro-Structuring
Nikhil Koratkar, PhD, Clark and Crossan Chair Professor, Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
In this talk, I will compare nano with micro-particle electrodes, and discuss why the battery industry is unlikely to replace micro with nano-size particles. Given this, I will address the question as to whether there is a place for nanomaterials in battery design. I will show that the way forward lies in micro-particles constructed by the assembly of nanoscale building blocks and in micro-particles with engineered or natural nano-porosity. Such multiscale particles offer exciting possibilities to develop the next generation of battery electrodes that are quintessentially both micro and nano with respect to their performance attributes.
The Effects of Fast Charging on Battery Performance
John Wozniak, PhD, President, ESP Consulting
The increased power carrying capability of USB-C has enabled fast charging in many consumer products. When designing a battery into a product with fast charging capabilities, it is critical to understand the impact on battery functional parameters like cycle life, energy density, and more. Fast charging also has an influence on cost. This talk will address these tradeoffs and attempt to set reasonable battery performance expectations.
Gauging for the Applications with Dynamic Loads
Yevgen Barsukov, PhD, Head, Algorithm Development, Battery Power Systems, Texas Instruments, Inc.
Robotic vacuums, drones, electric lawn movers, and other self-moving devices require exact remaining run-time to return to charging port. However, predicting it is complicated by highly variable load patterns. For example, vacuum robot can run on power-hungry patch of carpet on normally hardwood floor. Basic gauging methods are highly inaccurate under such conditions, forcing to leave up to 30% of capacity in reserve - cost saved by correctly modeling usage patterns.
