ECS Topic Close-up #4

Symposium A07: Battery Safety and Failure Modes

Symposium Focus: Long life, high power, reliable and safe lithium-ion batteries are needed for new consumer electronics, vehicle and grid storage applications. Demands for increased battery functionality, makes the severity of a potential battery safety incident a growing risk for emerging lithium-ion battery technologies. The objective of this symposium is to address lithium-ion battery durability, reliability and safety from a materials and cell design perspective with the goal of reducing the severity of an energetic safety incident. Better understanding of battery failure modes and effects could enable cell and system design improvements, performance enhancements and facilitate regulatory approvals of advanced lithium-ion battery power systems.

Invited Presentations: Recognized experts leading research and development efforts in the broad field of lithium-ion cell materials engineering, battery diagnostics and protocols for reliability and safety, and cell design for performance improvement have been invited. Invited speakers from academic and battery industry organizations include Purdue University, National Renewable Energy Laboratories, Idaho National Laboratory, GS Yuasa Corp., Eagle-Picher Technologies, SAFT-America, University of Huntsville (Alabama), and Exponent, Inc.
