TechBlick is proud to announce a full two-day online agenda on recent innovations in the Battery and Energy Storage space. With 6 dedicated conference sessions we will explore the newest advances in battery technology across a series of key performance indicators: energy density, charging speed, cycle life, sustainability, and geopolitical independence.

In particular the following critical themes will be explored

Battery materials for fast charging
Battery materials for long cycle life
Battery materials for high energy density
Battery materials for geopolitical independence
Battery materials for high safety
Battery materials for environmentally sustainable devices

#EnergyStorage #FastCharging #CriticalRawMaterials #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #LongDurationStorage

The event is highly recommended for anyone interested in these technologies.

This event is co-located on the same days online (with a joint up agenda) with TechBlick events covering (1) Solid State Batteries and (2) Next-Gen Battery Materials Beyond Li-Ion

You can learn more about the themes below

Battery materials for fast charging - Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD's recent announcement of two new vehicles capable of being fully charged in five minutes has sent ripples throughout the whole battery and EV charging industries. In this session, you will learn how BYD's competitors are reacting and what battery technologies are best suited to make charging an electric car as quick as filling a gas tank.

Battery materials for long cycle life - the average age of cars on the road has been steadily increasing for the past few years, and analysts believe EVs will be even more long-lasting than their combustion engine equivalents. Additionally, the utility-scale energy storage industry is extremely receptive to novel battery chemistries that can guarantee a longer operating life and thus better ROIs. TechBlick will guide you through the newest innovations in terms of long cycle life batteries, and how this can benefit your business.

Battery materials for high energy density - Over the course of 2024 and 2025, energy storage companies have been unveiling ever larger containerized battery systems, with some players being able to deliver up to 7 megawatt-hours of energy inside a 20 ft. container. Thanks to a more efficient packing and the use of more energy-dense electrodes, Li-ion batteries are quickly reaching their theoretical limits in terms of useable energy density. Four dedicated talks in the current sessions will give the audience an overview of how this limit can be overcome and what chemistries will be used in future energy-dense batteries.

Battery materials for geopolitical independence - 2025 has opened with an unprecedented trade war that is poised to reverberate across the globe. At the heart of these isolationist tendencies lies the will for countries and economic areas to on-shore as much manufacturing capabilities as possible, and the battery industry is of no exception. Sourcing of raw materials, development of local supply chains and local gigafactories, as well as the adoption of non-critical minerals will be some of the topics explored in the current session.

Battery materials for high safety - Current Li-ion battery technologies are safer than ever, however even some leading players like Google, Chevrolet, Samsung, and Tesla have had to recall hundreds of thousands of their battery-powered products due to potential safety concerns. Companies are not deaf to these worries, and are actively developing software and hardware solutions to mitigate the risk of fire and electrocution. In this session, we will showcase the best companies around the world that are active in the safety space.

Battery materials for environmentally sustainable devices - In 2023 the European Union published the updated Battery Regulation, a piece of legislation that sets strict boundaries when it comes to responsible sourcing of battery raw materials, and gives strong incentives to companies that adopt a circular strategy to include recycling and repurposing of spent batteries. In North America, several companies are setting up battery recycling facilities, and gigafactories themselves are involved in feeding battery waste into their manufacturing processes to minimize the scrap rate. Removal of harmful chemicals like toxic solvents and PFAS from the manufacturing process is also underway. TechBlick has put together an impressive speaker line-up to go through all of these topics and push for a more eco-friendly battery manufacturing industry.
