EV Sales Review for 2022 and the Expectations Going Forward and Implications on Battery Demand
Viktor Irle, Co-Founder & Market Analyst, EV Volumes
This presentation will cover the EV Sales Review of 2022 as well as expectations going gorward and implications on battery demand and will share the latest insights from collecting the facts in the EV industry. You will understand the best sellers, which countries and regions are doing to most for EV adoption, and what to expect in the future, both short term, and long term. These forecasts will also be translated into the battery demand.
Preparation for the Near Future: Market & Technical Planning of the Asian xEV LIB Manufacturers
Mark H.L. Lu, PhD, Senior Industrial Analyst, Industrial Economics & Knowledge Center, Industrial Technology Research Institute
The global automobile industry has established a long-term trend toward electrification technology, attracting industry chain manufacturers to rush to invest. The Asian battery manufacturers plan to respond a series of challenges like to balance of supply and demand on cellmaking and materials side, ensure the source of mineral and all materials and technical competition between Japanese, Korean and Chinese manufacturers. This presentation will provide an overview of the above cellmakers’ planning, especially cover both the technical comparison, market and product segmentation to show the future development in Asian xEV LIB Manufacturers.
Developing a Global Manufacturing Roadmap for Commercial-Scale Silicon Battery Technology
Rick Costantino, PhD, Co-Founder and CTO, Group14 Technologies
As OEMs race to electrify fleets in time, Group14 co-founder and CTO Rick Costantino will discuss why a cornerstone of manufacturing and delivering enough batteries worldwide is localizing supply chains with drop-in factories. Pointing to global partnerships with the likes of Porsche AG, SK Inc. and others, Rick will pull the curtain back on how Group14 is scaling its footprint in the global market by means of its modular manufacturing approach, with strategic partnerships and sustainability top-of-mind.

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.
Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing15:05
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.
Digital Optimisation of Battery Materials
Keri Goodwin, PhD, Chief Technologist, Formulation, CPI
Presentation focused on digital development and optimisation of battery materials and formulations. CPI utilises its automated formulation capability to rapidly screen novel solvents, binders, and active material combinations to down-select the optimal ratios for electrode coatings. Case studies relating to green solvent selection and use of process modelling and soft sensors will be presented.
Talk Title to be Announced16:10

Sustainable Low Dew Point Solutions for Battery Manufacturing
Andre Meyer, Head of Key Applications, Automotive & Battery, Munters GmbH
This session delivers basic information on dry rooms, which are mandatory for battery production and R&D. It will also focus on sustainable and regulatory aspects of a dry room project; e.g., the GreenPowerPurge technology for 30% energy savings on dry rooms.


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
OVERCOMING THE OBSTACLES TO BUILDING GIGAFACTORIES
ギガファクトリー建設の障害の克服
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.
