As the world accelerates toward electrification and sustainable energy solutions, understanding battery safety and the materials that enable these technologies is more critical than ever. UL Research Institutes’ Electrochemical Safety Research Institute is dedicated to advancing the safe development and use of batteries in the evolving landscape of energy storage systems.
The team will sponsor and participate in the Golden Jubilee Celebration of the 50th International Conference and Exposition on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC 2026) in Daytona Beach, Florida, from Jan. 25-30, 2026.
The American Ceramic Society, organizer of the ICACC, has invited researchers from the Electrochemical Safety Research Institute to share their latest research on next-generation battery technology solutions for safer, high-performance, sustainable energy systems.
Research leaders and scientists from the Electrochemical Safety research team invited to speak at the ICACC 2026 include:
- Judy Jeevarajan, Ph.D., vice president and executive director, will speak on “Sodium-ion Cells and Modules – Performance and Safety” on Jan. 27 at 1:30 p.m. EST.
- Wan Si Tang, Ph.D., research director for Novel Materials & New Energy Forms, will present “Solid-State Electrolytes with Fast-ion Conductivity: Material Structures and Phase Transitions” on Jan. 26 at 3:50 p.m. EST.
- Migo Szeman Ng, Ph.D., lead research scientist, will present on the topic, “Advancing the Recovery of LIBs: Microwave-Assisted Direct Recycling of End-of-Life Electric Vehicle LIBs with LFP” on Jan. 29 at 2:30 p.m. EST.
- Frederick Gray, research scientist, will speak on “The Impacts of Dry Mixing on Electrode Microstructure and Performance in Lithium-ion Batteries” on Jan. 29 at 3:20 p.m. EST.
Visit us at booth #316 to learn more about our research initiatives, collaborative projects, and safety-focused methodologies for advanced energy storage solutions.
ICACC is a globally recognized event that has grown into a premier platform for researchers, educators, technology developers, and end users to exchange ideas and showcase innovations in ceramic and composite technologies, which are critical components for advanced energy storage technologies and innovations.
