Trade fairs and conferences

This year's edition of the International Battery Production Conference (IBPC) will take place from November 27 - 29, 2024 in Braunschweig. Since 2018, the conference focuses on production-related topics in the battery industry, such as recycling, circular economy and supply chains that promote the transformation of the mobility system. Batteries are one of the key drivers of the global mobility revolution and at the heart of the energy transition. It can therefore be assumed that the global demand for electrochemical battery storage will continue to increase in the future. The conference promotes the high pace of innovation in new materials, production technologies and cell and pack designs that need to be transferred from laboratory scale to industrial mass production. The production process from battery materials to battery systems is of great importance in terms of both environmental and cost targets.

With the IBPC, the Battery LabFactory Braunschweig (BLB) offers an international exchange and networking platform that deals with the latest developments in the field of battery production.

This year, the focus is on the following topics:

• Electrode and cell production
• Electrode, cells and systems analytics and applications
• Development and production of innovative and next-generation batteries
• Recycling & Sustainability

The deputy director of the Fraunhofer IST, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sabrina Zellmer, will give an introduction to a workshop on circular battery production and will then focus on the recycling of battery cells. Furthermore, Julian Brokmann will give a presentation on “Comparison of magnetron-sputtered lithium and silicon anodes for solid-state batteries” as part of the IBPC.
