TUT2: Cell Engineering – How Battery Calorimetry Can Aid Battery Research

SUNDAY, 12 JANUARY | 18:00 - 20:00 (DINNER PROVIDED)

ABOUT THIS TUTORIAL:

This tutorial will discuss the role of calorimetry when it comes to battery research and the benefits of battery calorimetry. Quantitative measurement of thermal data, such as Quasiadiabatic Cycling and Isoperibolic Cycling will be covered as well as abuse tests in the field of battery calorimeters including the HWS test.

INSTRUCTOR:

Carlos Ziebert, Head of the Calorimeter Center, Thermophysics and Thermodynamics Group, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)

Dr. Ziebert earned his Diploma degree and his PhD in Physics from the Saarland University Saarbrücken, Germany. In 2002 he joined the Research Center Karlsruhe (now Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)). He has more than 16 years of international R&D experience in thin film technology, modelling and thermal characterisation of materials for energy systems and more than 60 peer-reviewed articles. Since 2011 his research is focused on electrochemical, thermal and safety characterization of Li-ion cells. He has been project leader in 5 projects related to electrochemical energy storage and from 2011-2013 he was the manager of the EERA Joint Programme on Energy Storage. Currently Dr. Ziebert is the head of the Calorimeter Center.
