SAO PAULO, Oct. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Nobel Prize winner, industry leaders and scientists address trends for the

future of electrification

With an opening lecture given by Professor Stanley Whittingham FRS, winner of

the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2019, for his pioneering work with lithium-ion

batteries, CBMM | Niobium will host on October 5th and 6th, the Powering Future

Electrification – Innovative Battery Materials webinar series.

The event aims to expand knowledge and disseminate information about new

materials and technologies for electric batteries and, for that, will bring

together leading companies in the battery and supercapacitors segment, such as

Toshiba, Skeleton Technologies, NanoOne, Echion Technologies and WildCat, as

well as academic representatives from UCLA, Hanyang University, University of

Texas at Austin, and University of Warwick, for the presentation of their work

in the field of electrification.

"This debate will foster the discussion about more sustainable technologies for

the automotive industry, a growing demand around the world. In this sense, the

most renowned professionals and researchers in the world will be able to

demonstrate their studies and developments in advanced materials, which aim at

the use of alternative energy sources, cleaner and renewable", explains

Professor Stanley Whittingham, Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Focused on advances in electric mobility, the event will address applications

of new Niobium technologies both for the cathode of batteries, making them more

stable and with a longer service life, as well as for the anode, resulting in

ultra-fast charging capacity of the lithium-ion batteries, in less than 10

minutes.  These developments enhance the durability and safety of batteries,

vastly improving performance compared to current technologies.

"We are investing consistently in the lithium battery segment, with a strategy

aimed at expanding this market and accelerating innovations with Niobium

technologies. With this initiative, we want to actively contribute to the

transformation of this sector, in line with the sustainability agendas for a

greener future", says Rogerio Ribas, Executive Manager of Battery Products at

CBMM.

Registration is now open and participation in the webinar is free of charge.
