AndTech to Hold WEB Seminar on Electrode Materials and Manufacturing Processes for High-Capacity 'Next-Generation Lithium-Ion Batteries' on June 29

AndTech Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President & CEO: Masao Suyama; hereinafter 'AndTech'), as part of its Zoom courses for R&D development support, will hold a 'Lithium-Ion Battery Components' course featuring leading expert lecturers to meet the growing need for problem-solving in lithium-ion batteries.

The course will describe the characteristics and technical challenges of Ni-based layered cathode materials, explain technology for improving characteristics such as high capacity, output, durability, and thermal stability, as well as material design guidelines. It will also explain the features of lithium-ion batteries by comparing them with other secondary batteries (lead-acid and nickel-metal hydride batteries).

This course is scheduled to be held on June 29, 2026.
