【Lecture】19th March, 2024 – “Increasing the Energy Density of Li-Ion Batteries by Structuring Electrodes and New Energy Storage Concepts”
＜Prof. De Volder to give a lecture＞
On March 19, 2024, Prof. De Volder at the University of Cambridge (a specially appointed professor (WRH) at FIRST, IIR) will give us the lecture concerning ‘Increasing the Energy Density of Li-Ion Batteries by Structuring Electrodes and New Energy Storage Concepts’ at FIRST, IIR. We look forward to your participation.
Time: 10:30 ~ 12:00 on Tue. 19 March, 2024 (1 hour of talk, about 30 minutes of Q&A)
Place: OCS, the first floor of R2 building, Suzukakedai Campus
Speaker: Prof. Michael De Volder (Professor, University of Cambridge/Specially Appointed Professor, WRH, Tokyo Institute of Technology)
Title：
Increasing the Energy Density of Li-Ion Batteries by Structuring Electrodes and New Energy Storage Concepts
Abstract：
Li-ion batteries still fall short of consumer needs in terms of charging time, capacity and cost. In addition, the materials used in batteries and the battery lifetime still cause concerns about their sustainability. In this talk, I will focus on different strategies to improve the performance of batteries. First, I will discuss aspects of optimising the structure of battery electrodes, which can lead to better battery performance using existing battery chemistries. Second, I will talk about how we can combine different Li storage mechanisms in new ways to increase the overall energy density of battery electrodes. Finally, I will discuss work on the degradation of batteries and methods to increase their life-time which is critical to improve their sustainability.
