With an almost two-decade-long experience at the LG group, where he worked across different roles in energy storage, automotive, and electronics, Keon is currently leading two groups of experts. The first group is the team of battery experts. Henkel’s next-generation battery solutions related to safety, sustainability, new designs and chemistry are identified and initiated by this team. The second one is accelerating customers’ innovation with its capability on advanced mechanical testing, material modelling and simulation, battery simulation for mechanical and thermal performance, and digital solutions based on big data analysis and prediction. Keon holds a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from KAIST and conducted postdoctoral research at Cornell University for his scientific career: He also holds an MSc in Executive MBA from Lancaster University.

The EV industry is now on the verge of mass popularization. Severe competition is found among automotive OEMs and battery manufacturers for longer range, faster charging and discharging, longer lifetime, and sustainability. Innovation of battery designs is one of core drivers of this innovation. The last 5 years have witnessed unprecedented progress of battery designs, which are represented by cell-to-pack, cell-to-body, cell-to-chassis, structural batteries, etc. Minimalism is based on fewer parts for more space, competitive cost, and production efficiency. This, in turn, influenced the thermal interface, and then related materials. In this presentation, the trend in EV battery designs will be reviewed and insights how thermal interface materials should adapt to the trend will be provided.
This presentation will give you insights into:
