Solid-state batteries are well positioned to be the breakthrough that will help to propel advanced battery technologies to the next level of global adoption. With significant increases in energy density and vastly improved safety, solid-state batteries show significant promise if their costs can be brought in line with other competing battery chemistries. What will it take to bring solid-state batteries down to a $100 kw/hr at the cell level and when can that be achieved. This unique summit will cover the global solid-state battery ecosystem from multiple angles including advances in chemistry, engineering and safety as well as cost control strategies by manufacturers with an outlook on the forecasted market expansion for China, Japan, Korea, Europe and the United States. Don’t miss your opportunity to get the latest developments from the major global players developing solid-state battery technologies.

Sodium-ion batteries are being explored as a viable substitute for conventional Li-ion battery technologies. Sodium is more abundant and less expensive than lithium, leading to lower manufacturing costs, and the potential for large-scale energy storage systems applications. While the energy densities of Sodium-ion batteries are somewhat lower than those of Li-ion batteries, they remain comparable. Moreover, Sodium-ion batteries eliminate or minimize the reliance on several critical elements necessary for Li-ion batteries, offering enhanced cycling stability and safety. This conference aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Sodium-ion battery development.
