Conference Description:
This meeting continues a series of symposia organized by a consortium of U.S. National Laboratories (including Argonne, Lawrence Berkeley, Pacific Northwest, Oak Ridge, SLAC, and National Renewable Energy Laboratories), IBM Research, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to bring together scientists and engineers focused on transformational advances in scalable energy storage beyond the current state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries.
The 2024 BLI-XIV will focus on the holistic design of energy storage and conversion beyond lithium ion to achieve a sustainable future. We will have sessions focusing on (i) cutting-edge advances in solid-state lithium battery research, (ii) the development of lithium-free, (iii) multivalent battery systems, (iv) AI and ML methods for discovery, (v) battery recycling, and (vi) using electrochemistry to form new chemical bonds for carbon capture and utilization. At the end of each session, the chairs will assemble a panel discussion comprised of the session speakers in an open-format discussion to address lingering challenges in future research topics, bottlenecks in innovation and manufacturing, and how we tackle these challenges sustainably.
The meeting also offers a selection between Tour of ORNL Facilities related to Energy Storage and Advanced Characterization and Computing and a Workshop of Battery Material Mechanics. Please select which option you desire. NOTE, those opting for the Tour must register by July 1st. Non-US Registrants must register for the tour by June 1.
