The Battery Technology Podcast

There's a lot happening in the world of Battery chemistry. In this episode, we take a step further down the value chain and explore the how developments in digitalisation are helping companies design not just battery componentry but to optimise the manufacturing process through which they will be built.

At the core of any battery system is the cathode. The positive electrode, Choices made in cathode chemistry determine much of the battery performance and is responsible for a majority of the cost elements of a battery.
In this episode we are joined by Dr Mark Copley, Research and Development Director of FAAM to discuss all things cathode. From basic principles to the next generation of cathode materials.

We hear a lot about the exponential growth of the market for EV batteries and the pressure that brings on the supply of critical minerals. But what about the demand side of that equation? Is inexorable growth a given, or are there opportunities that can be explored to mitigate demand?

The issues of creating batteries that allow for extremely rapid charging, delivering range at a similar rate as fossil fuel refuelling is at the centre of creating the EV revolution.
The standard battery chemistry won't deliver this. Which means new innovative chemistries must be developed that provide the capacity for the extreme-fast necessary to make the EV revolution a reality.
I'm joined by Doron Myersdorf, CEO & Co-Founder of StoreDot, a leader in EV battery innovation to explore exactly what how these developments are taking shape
