2nd Battery Materials Conference 2024
August 5 - August 8
The aim of this conference is to provide the opportunity for thought leaders in the global battery value chain to exchange ideas on recent developments in the fields of:
Materials and high-purity intermediates for battery components
Novel battery chemistries
- Flow-battery electrolytes
- Processes for the recycling of batteries
- Market outlook and legislative implications
New projects and entrepreneurship in the battery industry
- Related case studies.
- An even sharper focus can be provided by addressing the following questions and hypotheses:
- Will future battery developments and applications in southern Africa centre more around bulk energy storage by drawing on regional metal resources and addressing local bulk energy shortages?
- Will lithium-ion batteries continue to dominate most battery applications, with other battery technologies serving only niche applications?
- What (exactly) are the criteria and specifications for battery materials, intermediates and electrolytes required to achieve the envisaged performance and life of the batteries?
What impact will South Africa’s electrical supply issues have on the local motor manufacturing industry and the market for EVs?
