International Conference on Sodium Batteries - 2019

Hiya,

I will be giving an invited presentation at the upcoming International Conference on Sodium Batteries -2019 (ICNaB-2019) in Chicago, November 2019. It should be a great meeting.

Jerry

Faradion - One of the top 4 Electric Vehicle Battery Startups out of 600

Hiya,

Nice mention and recognition for Faradion:

https://www.startus-insights.com/innovators-guide/4-top-electric-vehicle-battery-startups-out-of-600/

Interesting that one of the other startup companies is listed as LithiumWerks - the new name for Valence Technology - one of my old companies. Hardly a startup - it was founded in the late 1980's! Still it's good news for Faradion to be mentioned and to acknowledge all the great work we are doing in this sector.

Honorary Professor at University of St. Andrews

Hiya,

Just a short note to let people know that I have recently been appointed an Honorary Professor within the School of Chemistry at the University of St. Andrews. What a fantastic university!!

Jerry Barker: Background Experience

Hiya,

This was a slide I included in a recent presentation and it summarises (some of) my background experience:

The Scale-up and Commercialization of Nonaqueous Na-ion Battery Technologies

Hiya,

I recently published a paper in Advanced Energy Materials with my colleagues and friends

at Novasis Inc. on the commercialization of our respective Na-ion cell chemistries:

ICNaB Presentation

Hiya,

I recently gave a talk at the 5th International Meeting on Na Batteries (5ICNaB) at St. Malo, France. Fantastic conference at a wonderful location.
