2025年度のチュートリアル*

This interactive tutorial will provide a comprehensive analysis of the latest data and trends in the EV industry. You’ll gain insights into top-selling models, identify the countries and regions leading in EV adoption, and understand what the future holds both in the short and long term. Additionally, we will translate these forecasts into actionable insights regarding battery demand, equipping you with a well-rounded understanding of the evolving landscape of electric vehicles. This tutorial is designed to deepen your knowledge and stay ahead in the rapidly changing EV market globally.

Battery management systems must perform several tasks, including estimating state of charge, state of health, state of power, and state of energy. Various approaches are available to accomplish these goals. This tutorial will give an overview of commonly used methods and discuss some of their individual advantages and disadvantages. Methods based on empirical equivalent circuit models will be highlighted, but methods using physics-based models will also be introduced.

This tutorial will give an overview of battery systems design. An overall product development process will be discussed for a typical system. Design aspects of each individual subsystem will be explored with cost impacts of different design choices. Testing, validation, and designing for safety will be other key areas of discussion.

In our work across the battery industry, we’ve observed a gap in understanding around key battery metrics and analyses. These are often second nature to long-time battery engineers and electrochemists or considered best practices within a specific battery vertical or lifecycle stage-but are actually applicable more broadly. In this tutorial, we’ll review these non-obvious but useful battery metrics and analyses through interactive demonstrations and discussion. We'll also explore how they can be applied to day-to-day engineering through advances in data science, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI).

This training incorporates Shmuel De-Leon`s review of new Chinese innovative technologies presented during 2024-2025.The motivation behind the training is to provide attendees with the knowledge of China's new technology market trends as China is the larger player on battery materials, cells, and battery-pack manufacturing.

This tutorial will cover factors that impact successful commercialization of battery materials, technological feasibility vs. economic practicality, and market need/company capability intersection, as well as technoeconomic analysis methodology, focusing on the critical early stages of a project where product design and process chemistry and development occur amid significant technical and economic uncertainty.

In this tutorial lecture, the development of state-of-the-art solid-state Li-ion and Na-ion electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries with an emphasis on ionic conductivity and chemical and electrochemical stabilities, will be discussed.

By 2030 the battery manufacturing industry is on course to reach $120 billion worldwide. However, with so many uncertainties, the recycling market has projections of $14 to $40 billion. Recycling must be economically sustainable with future $10/kg cathodes, can it achieve such a goal? A supportive recycling industry will be expected to (1) operate with end-of-life batteries as an asset (2) produce cost-competitive elements, electrodes, or electrode precursor materials, (3) safely address large-scale throughputs, and (4) accommodate low cobalt or no cobalt cathode formulations. This tutorial will comprehensively address technologies of pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, hybrid approaches, and direct recycling. The instructor will introduce these and discuss them in light of cost goals and market realities.

As the world’s biggest EDV market, Chinese xEV industry has become the most important pioneering target. However, specially planned economy, localized regulations, and multiple business models exist and make international companies’ decision-making more difficult. Therefore, this tutorial will try to provide a whole picture of the Chinese EDV battery market, including policies and regulations, future forecasts, competitive analysis, battery technology strategies, upstream supply chain, and positioning for foreign enterprises.

The key challenges in the use of silicon-based anodes, as well as progress in the implementation of silicon and what can we expect in the future. The latest improvements in other battery components are required to maximise the benefit of silicon-based anodes.

Application of lithium-ion batteries (LIB) in electrified transportation and renewable grid is growing at a very fast pace for decarbonization of the passenger vehicles by 2035. Due to the characteristics of current LIB technologies, although rare, there is potential for thermal runaway and fires, as seen by recent fires in Tesla Model S, Chevy Bolt, and grid storage system in an Arizona Utility. Increased severity of fire incidents with more advanced energy-dense LIBs, especially cathodes with higher Ni, and anodes with silicon or lithium, is expected. 

In this tutorial/seminar we will: 1.) discuss fundamental causes for safety issues leading to thermal runway and fire, 2.) review abusive behavior of cells and packs through characterization, testing, and modeling/simulations, 3.) provide overview of approaches that could reduce safety risks and detect impending failures, and 4.) provide references as a resource for accessing more information. 

This tutorial/seminar is provided by Dr. Ahmad Pesaran with 25+ years’ experience in lithium-ion battery R&D including safety testing and modeling with perspectives of his participation at USABC Technical Advisory Committee. He will provide the audience with information and understanding needed to handle Li-ion battery safety in both their work at their companies and in products they deliver to the market.
