Dr. Zhengcheng Zhang
Chemist
Argonne National Laboratory
Dr. Zhang received his Ph.D. degree in Polymer Chemistry/Physics from Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Beijing, China) in 2000. After that, Dr. Zhang joined Professor Robert West's group as a postdoctoral researcher and then a Staff Scientist at Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin-Madison for 5 years, where he carried out advanced polysiloxane based polymer electrolytes research for miniature lithium ion battery for medical application. In 2005, Dr. Zhang joined Quallion, LLC, a high-tech lithium ion battery company in California, working as a senior battery engineer. He has been working on lithium battery technology at Argonne National Laboratory since 2007.
Dr. Zhang's research experiences cover the areas of the lithium battery, including solid polymer electrolytes, silane, sulfone and fluorinated electrolytes, advanced SEI additives, redox shuttle for overcharge protection, electrolyte/electrode interphase, multifunctional lithium salts, new separators and organic polymer cathode materials. He is also active in energy storage systems beyond the lithium ion, such as lithium-air and lithium sulfur battery. He is currently a team lead for the advanced electrolyte/additives research at Electrochemical Energy Storage Theme, Argonne National Laboratory.

LEARNING BENEFITS
It continues to be vital for the commercial development and mass-market, public adoption of EVs that vehicle OEMs...
understand how to drive down costs to the lowest possible level throughout supply, manufacturing and delivery whilst developing battery capabilities for increased vehicle performance in every day usage.
Because of this EV Battery Tech USA: 4th Global Cost Reduction Initiative is again, bringing together strategic and technicalexpert s from the leading vehicle OEMs across the globe to discuss how costs can be decreased further whilst increasing the performance of the battery.
The leading vehicle OEMs will be focusing on:
BATTERY SYSTEM COST REDUCTION : Understanding how lessons learnt from batteries in current generation EVs can be applied to driving down the cost of the battery in the short term
ENERGY DENSITY OPTIMIZATION:Determining how near-term advances in improving energy density could help drive EV battery cost reduction
COST-EFFECTIVELY IMPROVING BATTERY LIFE : Examining current generation advances in cost-effectively improving EV battery life & solutions for preventing cell degradation & failure
COST-EFFECTIVELY IMPROVING BATTERY SAFETY : Evaluating advances in cost-effectively improving battery safety & applying new battery safety methodologies
TRANSLATING MATERIAL ADVANCES INTO SHORT-TERM COST REDUCTION : Providing an update on how the latest material advances in the cathode, anode & electrolyte are driving cost reduction at the level of the battery system
COST-EFFECTIVELY IMPROVING THERMAL MANAGEMENT : Analyzing cost-effective advances in improving thermal management & cooling systems to deliver optimal battery performance
STANDARDIZATION : Examining standardization opportunities for short, medium & long-term developments to deliver industry wide benefits & economies of scale
OPTIMIZING THE BATTERY FOR FAST CHARGING : Examining what needs to be done to optimize battery systems
