Recent significant innovations within lithium-ion batteries have propelled the technology into a position in the marketplace far exceeding recent market survey results. Breakthroughs in novel electrode and electrolyte materials, system integration and commercialization for a vast array of automotive, mobile and portable applications, from micro medical devices to high-power automotive, have paved the roadmap for an emerging market with unlimited potential. Unlike other conferences which simply review the latest findings in new materials for use in certain parts of the lithium power generating devices or device specific battery applications, this meeting will guide you from technology and materials development through device packaging and integration to applications in a mobile power marketplace. A comprehensive comparison with portable fuel cells and battery-fuel cell hybrid devices development will also be discussed.
