Lithium-ion Battery Dynamics: From Single Particles to Cells

Lithium-ion batteries sit at the heart of electrification, from electric vehicles to grid storage. But what actually happens inside these batteries as they charge, discharge, heat up, and age over time? ​In this Surge Session, Professor Jongwoo Lim of Seoul National University will take us inside the hierarchical, multiscale dynamics of lithium-ion batteries – from atomic-scale lattices and individual particles to full electrodes and complete cells. Drawing on advanced in situ and operando analytical techniques, he will show how lithium moves through complex porous structures, how local heterogeneities emerge, and how these ultimately shape key performance metrics such as efficiency, capacity fade, and thermal stability. ​By bridging nanoscale ion transport with macroscopic electrochemical response, this talk will highlight what scientists and engineers can do to design safer, longer-lasting, and higher-performing batteries for next-generation electric vehicles and energy systems. ​This one-hour session will include a presentation followed by live Q&A. ​About the Speaker Jongwoo Lim is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Seoul National University (SNU). His research focuses on electrochemical energy systems – including rechargeable batteries, electrochemical hydrogen generation, and CO₂ conversion – aimed at addressing climate change. ​He earned his B.S. in Chemistry from POSTECH in 2008 and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 2013, working with Professor Peidong Yang. Before joining SNU in 2017, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University with Professor William Chueh. His work has been recognized with numerous honors, including the Young Scientist Award from the President of South Korea (2023), the Zasshikai Lectureship Award from the University of Tokyo (2024), the Su-Moon Park Award from the Korean Electrochemical Society (2024), the KCS–Wiley Young Chemist Award (2023), and the Research Award from the SNU College of Science (2023). He is also an Emerging Investigator for the Journal of Materials Chemistry, an MRS Graduate Student Award Silver winner, and a member of the Young Korean Academy of Science and Technology (Y-KAST). ​ About the U-M EVC Surge Session Webinar Series: Connect with insights, research, and practical solutions shaping the future of mobility. ​​Register today to save your virtual seat for our next "Surge Session" webinar, hosted by the University of Michigan's Electric Vehicle Center.
