Are electric vehicles safer than combustion engine vehicles?

Electric Vehicles India

Yesterday also we get to hear a similar incident from Okinawa where the electric scooter had been parked in a garage and being recharged in the night when a blast had occurred. So let us now talk about Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, as it is the most preferred battery pack in current electric vehicles. Chemistries used.

A closer look at minimizing AC charging losses: From the breaker to EV (Part 1)

Charged EVs

In this article we’ll be taking a closer look at ways to minimize charging losses that are under the control of either the manufacturer or the owner of the EV (in other words, excluding things like changing the electrical generation source from coal to nuclear or solar, as helpful as that would be).

National labs researchers find simple procedure to improve performance of NMC cathodes in Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

O 2 spherical particles, made by a simple spray pyrolysis method, exhibit local elemental segregation such that surfaces are Ni-poor and Mn-rich. Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries work by shuttling lithium ions between positive and negative electrodes bathed in an electrolyte solution. Feng Lin, Dennis Nordlund, Yuyi Li, Matthew K.

TU Graz team uses monocrystalline Si as Li-ion anode; integrated micro batteries for on-board sensors

Green Car Congress

Electrochemists at TU Graz have used single crystalline acceptor-doped Si—as ubiquitously used in the semiconductor industry—as anode material for rechargeable Li-ion batteries. This increase amounts up to 300% if we refer to amorphous silicon (a-Si) and complete electrochemical lithiation (0 mV vs Li/Li + ).
