About this Event
Overview
Join SciMed and WMG for a focused one-day seminar exploring battery coatings, electrode architecture and cell characterisation.
The event brings together leading UK academics, industry professionals and scientific instrumentation specialists to look at how different analytical and characterisation techniques can be used together to build a fuller understanding of battery materials, electrodes and electrochemical systems.
The programme will cover areas including electrochemistry, thermal characterisation, microscopy, materials analysis, electrode development and cell performance, with opportunities to hear from researchers working across battery materials, manufacturing, degradation and advanced propulsion.
