Let's Talk! ESRI Electrochemical Safety Research Institute, UL Research Institutes

Prof. Ya-Ting T. Liao, Associate Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Case Western Reserve University, talks about the different fire safety hazards and risks associated with lithium-ion batteries.

Brett A. Perlman serves as the CEO of the Center for Houston’s Future, a nonprofit organization working to address matters of the highest importance to the long-term future of the greater Houston region. In this podcast, he shares his insights about green hydrogen technology from a global perspective.

Dr. Ahmad Pesaran from National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) describes the Lithium-ion Battery Supply Chain Database that was developed to include North American companies involved in all aspects of the lithium-ion battery supply chain.

Penni Dalton, Former ISS EPS Battery Subsystem Manager​, NASA Glenn Research Center​, discusses the characteristics of Nickel-Hydrogen batteries in the Electric Power System (EPS) onboard the International Space Station (ISS), their replacement process for lithium-ion batteries, and the safety aspects of both battery chemistries.

Kevin Wujcik, Chief Technology Officer at Blue Current, talks to our host regarding solid state batteries.

Professor Anna Stefanopoulou from University of Michigan talks to us about her group’s work on battery management and control, physics-based modeling of lithium-ion battery degradation, and the challenges and new opportunities in the field. She also talks about the detection of faults in lithium-ion batteries in field use, and how reliable detection of faults can help to mitigate the outcome of a potential thermal runaway event. Moreover, Prof. Stefanopoulou highlights how engineers work...
