"Energy Storage 2030: A Technology Roadmap" to be presented by Kia-Christina Möller, PhD of Fraunhofer Institute of Checmical Technology at Lithium Battery Power and Battery Safety 2012

Boston, MA (PRWEB) October 31, 2012

The Knowledge Foundation has 2 upcoming key battery industry events located in Las Vegas, NV USA from December 4-7, 2012. With over 45 presentations over 4 days, featured talks include:

Energy Storage 2030: A Technology Road Map
Kai-Christian Möller, PhD, Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology, Germany
For lithium-ion batteries, that are now considered as the key technology for the dissemination of electro mobility, a detailed roadmap will be given that has been developed under guidance of Fraunhofer by experts from industry and academic research within the “Innovation Alliance Lithium-Ion-Battery LIB2015", supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The roadmap will classify the expected technological developments such as cell components, resulting cell types and their expected properties for the horizon2012 – 2030. A chronological ranking of the availability and the properties of materials momentarily under development will be the basis for a road map for the development of effective batteries for the application in electric vehicles in future. Last but not least the chances for competitive technologies such as fuel cells and emerging technologies such as lithium metal batteries and redox-flow batteries will be discussed.

Leading experts from around the world will convene in Las Vegas for the 8th International Lithium Battery Power and the 3rd International Battery Safety 2012 conferences.

This is the last chance to take advantage of the advanced registration discounts which expire Friday, November 2, 2012.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear the latest advances in battery technology from across the industry.
