II-VI invited to present at Battery 500 Consortium workshop on next-generation lithium metal batteries
/EIN News/ -- PITTSBURGH, April 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- II‐VI Incorporated (Nasdaq: IIVI), a leader in engineered materials, today announced that it will introduce its lithium-sulfur/selenium cathode technology for high-energy and high-power lithium-ion batteries at the Li Metal Battery R&D, Manufacturing and Supply Chain Workshop hosted by the Battery 500 Consortium.
Dr. Chris Koeppen, Chief Technology Officer, will present the recent progress in II-VI’s seven years of development of lithium-sulfur/selenium materials for cathodes, which are compatible with high-capacity anodes and emerging solid-state electrolyte chemistries for Li-ion batteries. II-VI’s proprietary cathode technology has the potential to significantly enhance the performance of lithium-ion batteries for ground, sea, and air transportation infrastructures; the deployment of energy storage at scale; and consumer electronics. II-VI’s cathode technology is free of cobalt, a designated conflict mineral.
