LiRRIC Seminar Series: Reinventing Batteries Through Materials Design and New Tools
Speaker: Yi Cui, Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University How to increase battery energy density, reduce cost, speed up charging, extend life, enhance safety and reuse/recycle are critical challenges. Yi Cui will present the 15 year research in their lab to address many of challenges by understanding the materials and interfaces through new tools and providing guiding principles for design. The topics to be discussed include: 1) A breakthrough tool of cryogenic electron microscopy,…

Speaker: Barbara Fochtman, Chief Operations and Engineering Officer at Livent. Developing Supply Chains in Lithium The electric vehicle supply chains are evolving as they would for any new and innovative product. Over the course of last several years, supply chains have become global due to resource location and available capacity. As automakers develop ambitious goals — such as no combustion engines by 2035 — governments around the world work quickly to develop regional supply chains. Several countries are investing in capabilities…

Speaker: Dr. Kathryn Goodenough, Principal Geologist at the British Geological Survey Lithium deposits in the Earth’s crust come in three main forms – pegmatites, brines, and sediment-hosted deposits – and this talk will focus on pegmatites. Lithium pegmatites are igneous rocks, formed by crystallisation of unusual rare metal-rich magmas, but many aspects of their genesis continue to be debated, with significant implications for global exploration. The talk will discuss the different models for genesis of lithium pegmatites, and also how…
