Lithium-ion batteries represent the most significant current technology for high-energy rechargeable batteries; however, there remain many safety concerns associated with them. These concerns are further magnified when addressing large, high-energy battery systems for grid-scale, electric vehicle, and aviation applications. The May, 2021 issue of MRS Bulletin focuses on system-level battery issues and emergent technology efforts to improve Li-ion battery performance in larger systems. The talks in this webinar will complement the articles in this issue of MRS Bulletin; they will overview some of these safety issues and explore fundamental understanding as well as solutions.

Talks: 

  • Battery Safety Physics & Analytics 
    Partha P. Mukherjee, Purdue University
    Talk begins at 6:52
       
  • Challenges and Needs for System-level Lithium-ion Battery Management and Diagnostics
    Tanvir Tanim, Idaho National Laboratory
    Talk begins at 38:37
       
  • Thermophysical Abuse Couplings in Batteries: From Electrodes to Cells
    Daniel Steingart, Columbia University
    Talk begins at 1:03:36
