Daimler Truck Battery Cell Technology
Rianne Schoeffler, Electrochemist & Battery Product Developer, Daimler Truck North America
Battery Electric Trucks are an important part of Daimler Trucks strategy to reduce GHG emissions. Daimler Truck has proven with a number of projects and products on a global scale how capable these electric trucks can be. This presentation will investigate the unique challenges for the electrification of heavy duty vehicles with a special focus on the need for a truckified cell.
Battery Technologies for Heavy-Duty Trucks Using Electrified Roadways
John Forgie, PhD, Electrochemistry Senior Manager, Accelera by Cummins
Battery performance requirements for heavy-duty trucks are primarily derived from the category of use of the truck, and the work demand of the daily mission in the context of the charging environment. Existing low-cost battery technologies, including improvements thereon, can be an effective solution to many use-categories, even in the context of limited charging infrastructure. For the more demanding daily missions, either significantly higher specific energy batteries, or ubiquitous charging is required. Here, we provide a hypothesis on battery technologies for heavy-duty trucks operating in an environment of ubiquitous megawatt charging in USA.
Investigation of High Voltage Cathode Surface Coatings for Enhanced Cyclability of Lithium Metal Batteries
Sarah Degras, Polymer Designer, R&D, Blue Solutions Canada, Inc.
Deep investigations of the mechanisms involved in operating lithium batteries reveal that the interfaces play an important role and significantly affect the whole system’s performance. The multiple reactions occurring at the different interfaces are major concerns as they tend to lead to degradation of the anode, the cathode, and the electrolyte. Great attention is given to the lithium reactivity towards the electrolyte and the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase. It is equally as important to optimise the cathode interface with the electrolyte as it is an important site of chemical and electrochemical reactions. Among the different approaches reported to enhance the electrochemical performances of the battery, one is the surface modification of the cathode materials. The challenges and recent advances in coating of high voltage cathode materials conducted by Blue Solutions will be presented.

A Sustainability Perspective on Near-Future Energy Storage Technologies
Ulderico Ulissi, PhD, Manager, 21C Lab, Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited (CATL)
Energy storage technologies are critical to limiting emissions, and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are a key technology for many applications, including automotive and stationary storage. Therefore, we expect the LIB market to continue growing rapidly. This growth is keeping up the momentum for LIB technological development, which has been largely driven towards decreasing costs and improving performance. However, as LIBs become ubiquitous it is also critical to correctly assess the sustainability impact of the technology. In this presentation, we will discuss the concept of sustainability, how it is linked to Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) criteria, and will critically review the realistic opportunities to make batteries more sustainable in the near future. This will provide the audience more insights into the CATL carbon neutrality plan, and into its pledge to achieve carbon neutrality in its core operations by 2025 and across the battery value chain by 2035.
