Webinar: Li-Ion Batteries and Beyond: Driving Next-Generation Energy Storage with MedeA

Upcoming Webinar and Training Session

At a time when lithium is becoming the 'new oil', the demand for next-generation battery materials, materials optimization, and materials processing understanding, are at an all time high. It is important to establish a broad range of battery materials, inclusive of lithium and beyond. This webinar will discuss some of the ways MedeA can be used to explore next-generation battery materials, and more specifically how MedeA can be used to accelerate the search for good multivalent ion battery materials.

• Automated convergence testing

• Intercalation site identification in the Chevrel phase Mo6S8

• Electronic analysis of multivalent ion battery materials

• Voltage comparison of multivalent ion batteries

• Stable phase prediction as Li is increased in LixNiO2

• Voltage prediction for LixNiO2
