- Nobel Prize winner, industry leaders and scientists address trends for the 
future of electrification

With an opening lecture given by Professor Stanley Whittingham FRS, winner of 
the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2019, for his pioneering work with lithium-ion 
batteries, CBMM | Niobium will host on October 5th and 6th, the Powering Future 
Electrification – Innovative Battery Materials webinar series.

The event aims to expand knowledge and disseminate information about new 
materials and technologies for electric batteries and, for that, will bring 
together leading companies in the battery and supercapacitors segment, such as 
Toshiba, Skeleton Technologies, NanoOne, Echion Technologies and WildCat, as 
well as academic representatives from UCLA, Hanyang University, University of 
Texas at Austin, and University of Warwick, for the presentation of their work 
in the field of electrification.

"This debate will foster the discussion about more sustainable technologies for 
the automotive industry, a growing demand around the world. In this sense, the 
most renowned professionals and researchers in the world will be able to 
demonstrate their studies and developments in advanced materials, which aim at 
the use of alternative energy sources, cleaner and renewable", explains 
Professor Stanley Whittingham, Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Focused on advances in electric mobility, the event will address applications 
of new Niobium technologies both for the cathode of batteries, making them more 
stable and with a longer service life, as well as for the anode, resulting in 
ultra-fast charging capacity of the lithium-ion batteries, in less than 10 
minutes.  These developments enhance the durability and safety of batteries, 
vastly improving performance compared to current technologies.

"We are investing consistently in the lithium battery segment, with a strategy 
aimed at expanding this market and accelerating innovations with Niobium 
technologies. With this initiative, we want to actively contribute to the 
transformation of this sector, in line with the sustainability agendas for a 
greener future", says Rogerio Ribas, Executive Manager of Battery Products at 
CBMM.

Registration is now open and participation in the webinar is free of charge.
