Challenges and Opportunities of Electrode Materials for Next-Generation Lithium-Ion Batteries
In this talk, Dr. Xingcheng Xiao, technical fellow at General Motors global research and development center, will discuss how to understand the coupled mechanical/chemical degradation of SEI layers on those high-capacity electrodes using a comprehensive set of in-situ diagnostic techniques. Based on the learning from the in-situ diagnostics, Xiao will discuss some coating design strategies to achieve high cycle efficiency and extend the cycle life of high energy density batteries for electrical vehicle applications.
