Resource-Aware Materials, System and Process Design for Battery Materials

This presentation will provide a systems perspective on scaling needs in battery materials for electric vehicles ranging from our use of language model methods to source micro-challenges in the academic literature around electrode/electrolyte interfaces to materials supply chain issues including the impact on local communities for extraction of these materials. By providing a systems analysis on the extraction, beneficiation and refining complexities associated with these technologies linked to the more fundamental research activities at the bench, this talk aims to provide insight at multiple length scales of the challenge in realizing next-generation EV battery materials.
