Paradigm shift of positive and negative electrode materials and components.

This book, titled "Prospects for All-Solid Lithium-Ion Batteries," focuses on the paradigm shift in positive and negative electrode materials as well as materials and components. The author has been involved in battery materials and manufacturing since the inception of lithium-ion batteries at SONY Corporation, and has quantitatively estimated and discussed issues as much as possible. For the calculations as industrial products, all conditions and processes of the calculations are presented to accommodate case-by-case recalculations. [Features (Excerpt)] ■ Will the 10 million EVs/year require 800 GWh of batteries be liquid-based or all-solid? ■ What is the safety level of all-solid batteries without electrolyte and separator? ■ What are the methods and limitations for forming interfaces between solid electrolytes and positive/negative electrode materials? ■ Are all-solid batteries cylindrical, prismatic, or laminated? ■ Energy characteristics vs. power characteristics; strengths and weaknesses of all-solid batteries. *When applying, please download the order form from the PDF download. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

[Speaker] Noricazu Seko, President and CEO of Servant Coach Co., Ltd. Representative Director of the 1-on-1 Communication Association [Key Lecture Content] Recently, due to changes in social conditions such as work style reforms and remote work, communication between supervisors and subordinates within organizations has decreased. In such an environment, companies face challenges such as improving employee engagement and developing autonomous talent. One area that has garnered attention is the dialogue between supervisors and subordinates, specifically 1-on-1 meetings. Currently, many companies and organizations are beginning to implement 1-on-1 meetings, but there are numerous challenges regarding sustainability and quality improvement. The key to addressing these challenges lies in the role of the subordinate. In this seminar, we will explain the points for introducing, sustaining, and improving the quality of 1-on-1 meetings, focusing on the often-overlooked role of the subordinate. [Lecture Items] 1. [Why] Why is 1-on-1 necessary now? 2. [What] What should we discuss? "Alignment 9 Box (R)" 3. [How] How should we engage in dialogue? 4. Q&A
