■Title 2nd Session: Manufacturing Technology of Lithium-Ion Batteries - Application Edition (NCM Cathode and Graphite/Silicon Anode) This course is a 4-night, 5-day residential practical training program utilizing a large battery prototype factory in Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture. Aimed at individuals with laboratory-level research and development experience, participants will practically acquire manufacturing technology for lithium-ion batteries at the factory level. Participants will experience a series of manufacturing processes, including the preparation of cathode and anode slurries using a planetary mixer, optimization of coating and drying conditions, electrode pressing, slitting, stacking, terminal welding, cell assembly, electrolyte injection, and initial charging. Due to the small class size (limited to 6 participants), attendees will receive direct instruction from experienced instructors and systematically learn the entire battery manufacturing process. ■Event Details Date: August 31, 2026 (Monday) to September 4, 2026 (Friday) (4-night, 5-day course) Capacity: 6 participants (minimum number for the course to proceed is 4) *Includes transportation costs from Tsuyama Station, lunch costs for 5 days, and networking event fees *Accommodation costs are separate Instructors: Junichi Ogawa (Former Sony) Takashi Mukai (ATTACCATO LLC) Yoshiteru Kawabe (Former GS Yuasa) Tetsuo Sakai (CTO, STL JAPAN) Hiroichi Ninomiya (Senior Researcher, STL JAPAN)
