NEXT-GENERATION COMMERCIALVEHICLE BATTERIES
Commercial-vehicle electrification is
quickly evolving. This panel session discusses the specific needs of battery
power for heavy-duty applications and
examines the technologies that appear
best suited for production use.

ADVANCED ANODE AND CATHODE
DEVELOPMENT
Anode and cathode design and materials are under constant research. What are
the primary R&D goals for the near and
mid-term horizon? Join us for this enlightening session to learn about the
future of anodes and cathodes.

Presenter:

Toby Schulz, Director,
Electrification & Systems,
Allison Transmission
As Director of Electrification & Systems, Toby Schulz
reports into the Allison E-Mobility division. He co-founded Vantage Power in
2011 and was Chief Technology Officer.
The engineering teams at Allison
Transmission are focused in the areas of
powertrain system design and integration, battery systems, embedded system
control, and telemetry data systems.

Dr. Guiliang Xu, Assistant
Chemist, Chemical Sciences
and Engineering, Argonne
National Laboratory
Dr. Xu has more than a
decade of research experience in the development of advanced batteries including lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and lithiumsulfur batteries. He provides guidance
and approaches to design, and synthesizes new, safer battery materials with
higher energy.

CRITICAL BATTERY MATERIALS
PROCUREMENT AND SUPPLY
SECURITY
The projections for electric vehicle sales
suggest an order-of-magnitude increase in
the need for minerals such as nickel, lithium, and cobalt. What are the latest initiatives in the U.S. and the world to secure the
needed volumes of these crucial minerals?
Find out in this provocative session.
Presenter:

Andrew Bowering, Director,
American Lithium
Andrew Bowering is the
Director of American Lithium
Corporation, a lithium exploration and development company. A venture
capitalist and public markets expert with
three decades of experience, he started out
as the owner/operator of a drilling company, later becoming a stockbroker, and within a few years, a public company executive
and financier.

About the Company
COMSOL is a global provider of simulation software for product
design, engineering, and research in technical enterprises, labs, and
universities. COMSOL Multiphysics® is an integrated environment
for creating physicsbased models and
simulation applications. Simulation experts use COMSOL
Server™ and COMSOL Compiler™ to
deploy applications to
design teams and
customers worldwide.

Batteries power a variety of applications, ranging from small
portable devices
to large grid applications, aerospace devices, and
the next generation of automotive applications.
The experimental
barriers in terms
of cost and time
highlight the importance of battery modeling as a powerful
tool. Simulation provides a better mechanistic understanding
of the phenomena occurring inside the battery cell, can help
designers address any issues and challenges, and guides
designers toward more efficient designs and implications.
The Battery Design Module, an add-on to COMSOL
Multiphysics®, includes predefined physics-based models with
different complexity levels, from the detailed structures in a
battery's porous electrode to the battery pack scale, including
thermal management systems. This module can be used as a
powerful tool for the study and development of new battery
designs.
