Dear Colleagues, Users, Supporters and Fans of BNC,

We would like to draw your attention to the upcoming webinar No. #3 of the
series organized by the Budapest Neutron Centre (BNC) on the history,
science, development and new trends in the field of Li-ion batteries,
including important contributions from neutron scattering techniques all
over the world.

The webinars are given biweekly by local and international experts
in English on Wednesday afternoons.

The next presentation will be given on:

24 June, 2020   14:00-14:45 + discussion (CEST)  by

Robert Kun (Centre for Natural Sciences, Budapest) with the title:

      "Li-ion batteries: New generation Li- and post-Li batteries"

Details on the seminar series, and on how to join the zoom video sessions 
up to 30 minutes  before starting the webinar are available in the 'News'
section of the BNC home page at https://www.bnc.hu.  Please join the
presentation then the discussions following the webinar. The webinar 
videos are recorded and can be played back at 
www.bnc.hu/content/bnc-webinar-1-li-ion-batteries

With best regards,  BNC Management

BNC webinars on Li-ion batteries
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The future is electric. In the massive migration from fossil to electric,
the availability of capable batteries is a major issue. The need for
efficient batteries - for transport, power and industrial applications -
is growing fast and at an increasing pace. This global movement presents a
huge  challenge to scientists and research institutions.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2019 was awarded jointly to John B. 
Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino "for the development of 
lithium-ion batteries."  Li-ion is a fairly new comer in the battery 
technology. But, at present, it is the best candidate of general storage 
of electricity. 
Although the cost per cycle is by now the most beneficial for this type of
battery technology, the energy density, and its present direct cost as
compared to the fossil counterparts leave an enormously wide ground for
future development.

Neutrons, provided by research reactors or spallation neutron sources,
constitute a unique probe to study materials. Beside the methodical
benefits, such large-scale facilities provide excellence-based,
cost-effective access to the cutting edge analytical technologies and 
sample environments.

In seeking its optimum and proportional role in this global process, the
Centre for Energy Research Budapest and one of its institutes, the 
Budapest Neutron Centre in particular starts a series of webinars on the 
science behind the developments in renewable energy. The subject of the 
first webinars is Lithium-ion batteries.
