Conferences and trade fairs

LSE’26 brings together experts working on laser-based micro- and macro-joining processes for battery manufacturing. The focus is on the practical challenges of scaling these technologies for industrial production while maintaining stable processes, controlled heat input, and reliable electrical contact quality.

The demand for green technologies is increasing immensely. More and more electric vehicles are entering the roads. As a result, the efficient and environmentally friendly production of battery cells is moving to a center stage. Especially during the manufacturing of the battery electrodes, state-of-the-art slurry processes are very space- and energy-consuming and moreover, involve the use of toxic solvents.

Lithium-sulfur batteries are envisaged to enable energy storage devices with high specific energy at low material cost. The recent research provides significant progress in terms of materials for active and passive cell components as well as on understanding of mechanisms finally leading to improved Li-S cell performance.
