Industrial Side Streams as a Source for New Battery Materials

The event will bring together researchers, industry experts, and technology developers to discuss the latest advances in battery materials, resource efficiency, and circular economy solutions.

Highlights include presentations on 

• The potential future and limitations of batteries

• Industrial side streams as raw materials for lithium-ion battery cathodes

• Silicon-based materials for next-generation batteries

• Utilising graphite from industrial side streams

• Nanomaterials and innovative battery technologies

• Biogenic silicon for battery applications

The seminar will conclude with a panel discussion featuring representatives from industry and the battery ecosystem.
