Understanding the internal dynamics of lithium-ion batteries remains a critical hurdle in improving energy storage performance. On August 5, 2026, Physics World will host a specialized webinar focusing on the structural changes and ionic resistance shifts within graphite electrodes.
The Role of SEI and Graphite Expansion
The session aims to provide a deep dive into the Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) formation, a crucial process that occurs during the initial charging cycles. Experts will discuss how this layer, alongside the physical expansion of graphite during lithiation, defines the efficiency of lithium-ion transport across the electrode.
Technical Insights for Battery Development
As the demand for high-capacity and fast-charging batteries grows, analyzing these microscopic structural changes becomes essential. The webinar is scheduled for 3 p.m. BST (10 a.m. EDT) and is expected to attract researchers and engineers looking to optimize electrode design and longevity.
