FM 5: Focus Session: Holistic structural and safety assessment of battery materials and cells
Monday, March 9, 2026, 15:00–18:00, BEY/0E40
chairs: Carlos Ziebert (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, DE), Philipp Finster (KIT, DE)
The focus session is dedicated to the characterization of microstructure, electrochemical, thermal and safety properties of Lithium-ion and Post-Lithium cells and their individual active and passive materials. This is required to obtain quantitative and reliable data, which are necessary to improve the current understanding in order to design and develop better and safer materials and cells. Potential topics include, but are not limited to electrochemical characterization techniques , thermal characterization techniques, safety testing, development of safer materials and cell designs, thermodynamic modelling of materials, modelling of thermal runaway and propagation.
