Lithium-Ion Battery Materials

From Raw Materials to the Latest Advancements in Battery Chemistries

October 16-17, 2018

Cambridge EnerTech's Lithium-Ion Battery Materials will bring together leading battery chemists, engineers, and material R&D professionals from industry, government and academia to discuss the current challenges and breakthroughs in battery chemistries. Case studies highlighting advancements in both electrode and electrolyte chemistry will be shared. In addition to improvements in Li-ion chemistries, the economic value of lithium technologies will also be discussed. You can expect to get an insightful view on the various lithium ion chemistries and emerging beyond-and aside lithium ion chemistries of the future, where lithium metal, lithium/sulfur, lithium/air, sodium, magnesium, and calcium chemistries will be in the focus of interest. In addition, an examination of the drivers of end user demand with a focus on major new projects in the pipeline and how that demand will evolve over the near and long term will be presented. This symposium will cover the global markets from multiple angles, including advances in mining and processing with an emphasis on sourcing and cost control strategies by manufacturers with an outlook on the forecasted consumption trends for China, Japan, Korea, Europe and the United States.
