Register for David Theuerkauf’s September 20 seminar

The ECS Detroit Section invites you to an in-person seminar with David Theuerkauf, Technical Sales Specialist, AVL North America, at 1800h on September 20, 2023, at Mercedes-Benz R&D North America.

Abstract

In constructed lithium ion batteries, only voltage, current, and temperature can be measured. This leads to difficulty making in situ analysis of electrochemical properties. Measuring and sourcing current at a high level of quality, 0.005% of full scale range, is considered ultra-high precision coulometry. Analysis of ultra-high precision coulometry metrics can be made by running cells at a slow 16-hour charge and discharge rate, with stable environmental control. These metrics can be used to compare degradation rates and anticipated rollover failure, quickly compare different potential chemistries or electrolytes, or detect lithium plating. (more…)

You are cordially invited to attend the 3rd Singapore ECS International Symposium on Energy Materials (SESEM 2023) from July 28-31, 2023, in Singapore.

The in-person meeting brings together scientists in the materials or energy area to interact and discuss advances and challenges in various fields. The goal is to promote interaction and generate new ideas to push forward research in the electrochemical community. The symposium includes oral and poster presentations. Sponsor-named young scientist and poster awards will be presented. 

The Electrochemical Society Singapore Section is the proud sponsor and organizer of SESEM 2023. (more…)

Nel Hydrogen announced on May 10, 2023, that they will construct a massive new plant in Michigan to build electrolyzers which split water into hydrogen and oxygen, with the goal of supplying up to four gigawatts’ worth of hydrogen each year. This follows the announcement in November that Nel would work together with GM to make electrolyzers more efficient and less expensive. The new plant would be one of the largest such facilities in the world. Nel became an ECS Institutional Member this year; GM has been an ECS Institutional Member for 71 years. (more…)
