Battery Manufacture - Realising the
Potential of Nanotechnology
15th November 2012, Sharp Laboratories of Europe, Oxford
Energy storage is something we take for granted – until a battery runs out
unexpectedly, and we realise that we need better batteries. Challenges
include reducing charge time, increasing energy density, replacing scarce
materials. Nanotechnology offers the materials to achieve these new
batteries, but scale-up and manufacturing processes need to be
developed to realise this potential.
This unique workshop features many of the key UK players, and
alongside funding presentations and the opportunity for networking,
makes this a must-attend event for end-users, manufacturers and
technology providers.
