Scaling-Up New Technologies: The Path towards a Competitive Localized Supply Chain for Batteries

Roderik Colen, PhD, CEO, Delft IMP BV

One of the key problems of the new developing technologies, which aim for cost-efficiency and environmental turnover, is their scalability. Replacing traditional post-treatment methods during cathode manufacturing with a dry, gas-phase nanocoating process can significantly enhance process efficiency. Besides introducing our nanocoating technology as an affordable and greener alternative to existing methods, we will showcase our recent advances in scaling up the production capacity to an industrial scale.

Foreign Metallic Particle Contamination in EV Cell Manufacturing

Matthew Gordon, PhD, Staff Software Engineer, Energy and Materials, Toyota Research Institute

Foreign metallic particles (FMPs) pose major safety risks to EV battery manufacturers. Particles as small as 100 microns can cause cell failure and thermal runaway, and can remain dormant in cells for hundreds of cycles before failure. We will discuss the physics of FMP contamination and thermal runaway, and strategies for risk mitigation.

Earth-Abundant Cathode Active Materials: Research and Development Efforts at Argonne National Laboratory

Eungje Lee, Staff Scientist, Chemical Sciences & Engineering, Argonne National Laboratory

The United States Department of Energy has recently released its vision for the future of batteries in the United States, titled The National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries. This document outlines the key areas of investment most critical to enabling a more secure and independent ecosystem around lithium-based batteries for the U.S. and is heavily influenced by the ideas of sustainable technological development. In this regard, earth-abundant cathode active materials are particularly attractive. 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.

Improvement of LiB Mass Production Quality through Collaboration with Asian Potential Partners

Shunsuke Amagai, Founder & Co-CEO, Beff

With the rapid growth in demand for LiB and the improvement in cell energy density, requirements and expectations of battery manufacturers are increasing ever higher. In particular, technologies of improving LiB mass production quality are becoming more and more important for Europe and the US to promote local production. Our company was established in early 2023 to deliver the best solutions for customers. In this presentation we explain how we support Western companies by collaborating with Asian potential partners.

Is This a Good Coating? Characterisation Challenges for the Intermediate Process Steps during Lithium-ion Cell Manufacture

Michael Lain, PhD, Lead Engineer, WMG, University of Warwick

Battery development can be accelerated if the products from intermediate process stages can be successfully characterised, and the results used to optimise the preceding steps. The talk will survey the options at each key stage, with greater details on some specific examples arising from our recent work on volumetric resistivity and coating morphology.

Needs and Trends in LIB Manufacturing

Tim Wicke, Research Associate, Fraunhofer Institute for Systems & Innovation Research

Our presentation summarizes the latest developments in LIB manufacturing, but sets priority on the future. In addition to possible innovations in battery materials or cell formats, we are focusing on production processes and therefore presenting the most important innovations of different processing technologies and giving a brief technology assessment of individual approaches. The technology assessment is interdisciplinary and ecological, economic and environmental aspects are taken into account.

09:50 Reducing Costs of Cell Cycling During High Volume Production to Monitor the Output Quality of a Gigafactory

Albert Groebmeyer, Strategic Portfolio Planner, Keysight Technologies GmbH

A key parameter for measuring the quality of cell production is the cell’s cycle life. In a Gigafactory, this requires large capital investment and operational costs (energy) to run this long-term quality check on a cell sampling basis, which can take weeks or months to test each cell. We will show a novel approach for capital equipment to implement a cell cycling quality gate providing space and energy consumption savings

Speed to Market - The Race to Build Your New Gigafactory

David Verner, Executive Vice President, Industrial, Gresham Smith & Partners

There is a waiting list for almost every electric vehicle model. Automakers are racing to meet consumer demand and speed to market is key to their business success. This means more battery plants must be built just as fast. To meet this need, your planning team must understand and overcome the challenges of delivering a large-scale technically complex manufacturing complex.
