Advanced Automotive Battery Conferences

Session 2:
Lithium-Ion Cell Non-Active Materials and Coating Technology

Electrode technology has a significant impact on cell cost, performance, life, and reliability. In this session, we will review non-active components that contribute to electrode integrity and performance, and recent advances in the coating technology that is utilized to manufacture electrodes.

Mr. Broom has worked in the lithium rechargeable battery industry for 26 years. From 1984 – 2006 he worked for Moli Energy, the only high volume manufacturer of lithium-ion rechargeable cells in North America , and from 2007 – present with China BAK. His work experience has included QA, manufacturing engineering, product design, operations management, international business development and executive management. He is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of B.C. Mr. Broom received a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Waterloo.
