I. Idaho National Laboratory's Advances toward Inorganic Li-Ion Cell ChemistriesSafety and longevity of lithium-ion batteries can benefit by an overall reduction of carbon within the cell chemistry.
For example, conventional organic carbonate solvents have low flash points and are not suitable for operation at 5V, while carbon anodes have been shown to trigger the fate of cathode stability under thermal runaway.
Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is developing alternative cell materials for electrolytes and electrodes that are resilient at elevated temperatures, higher voltages, and offer distinct opportunities to custom-engineer attributes of battery performance and life.
This presentation will be given by Kevin Gering of INL at Next Generation Batteries 2013.

II. Northeastern University Announces a Two Day Summit on Large Scale Energy Storage on May 2-3, 2013 in Boston, MA USA
This workshop from Northeastern University and the Knowledge Foundation called “Meeting the Challenges of Next Generation of Large Scale Energy Storage” will examine the latest research related to electrochemical energy storage and will parlay this in the context of requisite need for policy innovations which will enable entrepreneurial initiatives in this field.
Scheduled for May 2-3, 2013 at Northeastern University, this event will be held in the form of four separate sessions.
Call for speakers is open. The submission deadline is March 4th, 2013.
