Redefining Battery Manufacturing: From Nonflammable Chemistries to Scalable Solutions

Plenary conferences

North America faces an urgent challenge: competing on the global stage of battery manufacturing requires leapfrog technologies, not incremental gains. Yet most efforts to date have struggled to balance scalability, cost, and innovation. Dragonfly Energy has pioneered an aerosol-based dry electrode process that is both effective and efficient, reducing factory footprint while opening exciting new pathways to nonflammable solid-state solutions. In this session, Dr. Denis Phares will share how these advancements are redefining what’s possible in North American battery manufacturing and why they matter for manufacturers, investors, and policymakers.
