BATTERY PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY: ASSEMBLY
Summary
This session will focus on
assembly technologies for
lithium ion cells and battery
packs. Global investment in
new production lines for cell
and battery packs is very high.
Approximately ten
gigafactories are needed to
meet expected demand over
the next ten years. Advanced
manufacturing technologies
will focus on high speed, low
energy demand and high
output rates (yield & quality),
which lead to reduced
production costs. New cell
designs and optimized
packaging to reduce volumes
are also of great importance

BATTERY PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY: MATERIALS, AVAILABILITY, RECYCLING & LIFECYCLE
Summary
This session will address new
materials in advanced lithium
ion cell production. Discussion
will center on materials for
high performance cells,
improved safety behavior as
well as the availability of
sustainable raw materials. Due
to the rapid growth of
markets, materials recycling is
increasingly important. The
session will also address
recycling technologies and
recycling design.
