ACS Publications Industry Webinar: Session 1 - Decoding SEI Dynamics for Long-Life Lithium-Metal Batteries

This is a webinar session examining the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) dynamics and cycling strategies to improve cycle life of lithium-metal batteries. Guest speakers Dr. Wurigumula Bao (University of Chicago) and Dr. Yunya Zhang (SES AI) review charge/discharge regimes, link SEI conductivity to lithium morphology and electrochemical performance, and discuss intermittent pulse discharge protocols relevant to electric vehicle applications. Multiple webinar sessions are available, each led by individual guest speakers, and the content addresses practical cell design and pathways to extend battery lifespan.
