Introduction to the Course

Hello,

Welcome to your first week of the course on Battery Manufacturing: Trends in Battery Engineering, starting on Monday.

In the next 3 weeks, you will have the opportunity to explore new trends in battery production and learn about the role of sustainable batteries, using a variety of online materials including videos, articles, discussion topics and quizzes.

We’re excited to have you onboard and hope that you will find this course helpful, inspiring and insightful.

In your first week you will visit Volkswagen’s Salzgitter Center of Excellence for Battery Cells and learn more about battery cell production. We will then continue with exploring current market shares for the Lithium-ion batteries and why Li-ion battery is used in most of the electric vehicles. Finally, we will close the week with the lecture on the importance of raw materials in the EV Battery lifecycle.

Let’s start!
