BATTERY WEBINAR SERIES

Enhance Battery Safety by Evaluating Your Battery Materials' Thermal Stability

October 9, 2024
10:30 am EST | 3:30 pm BST | 4:30 pm CET

Battery safety, particularly for Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), is of paramount importance for essentially all applications. Overheating and thermal runaway in LIBs are critical safety concerns.    

In this webinar explore how thermal analysis is used in battery materials development to improve battery safety by design. Understanding the thermal degradation of battery materials is critical for battery safety especially the electrolytes and its off gas during decomposition. Learn how the state-of-charge (SOC) of a battery impacts the onset temperature and amount of energy released during the reactions.  

Join us for this webinar to learn:
  • How DSC helps pinpoint the exact temperature of a potentially dangerous reaction
  • Why its important to evaluate battery safety at different charge levels
  • How TGA assesses electrolytes composition and temperature and off-gases of degradation
