The Battery Technology Podcast thebatterytechnologypodcast

I’m fascinated by the developments that are taking place in the solid-state battery development field, but I want to understand more about what is really happening at the cutting edge of the solid-state world. Over the new two episodes we are going to take a deeper dive into the world of solid-state.
In this episode I am joined by John Tinson of Ilika. A UK based pioneer in solid state battery technology enabling solutions for applications such as Industrial IoT, MedTech and Electric Vehicles.

Many of our preceding episodes have focused on development in the Lithium Ion battery field, but of course Lithium is not the only alkali metal that lends itself to use as a battery material.
In this episode we explore the growing interest in Sodium Ion battery technology, and with the help of Spencer Gore, CEO of Bedrock Materials. we explore how Sodium Ion batteries may fit into the landscape of developing battery technologies.

One of the critical materials used in Li-ion battery technology is Graphite. It has been the key anode material since the birth of the EV revolution.
In this episode we take a deep dive into Graphite, and with the help of Vikram Handa and Sunit Kapur of Epsilon Advanced Materials. we explore how Graphite is key to the global EV ecosystem.

I'm always fascinated by the development of innovative processes to take end of life batteries and from them generate battery grade materials. Essentially, making finite resources, infinite.
In this episode we explore how ReElement Technologies are developing scalable and deployable purification and refining processes using chromatography at the heart of their solutions.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the battery industry is the emergence of new enabling chemistries that can propel battery performance to the next level. In this episode we discuss the emergence of Niobium as a disrupting element in battery development and explore the role Niobium could play in achieving faster charging, higher energy densities and improved battery safety.

There's a lot happening in the world of Battery chemistry. In this episode, we take a step further down the value chain and explore the how developments in digitalisation are helping companies design not just battery componentry but to optimise the manufacturing process through which they will be built.
