described a prototype lithium-ion battery system targeted at a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) application. The PHEV pack is based on 14 Ah lithium-ion polymer cells, with carbon-coated LiFePO 4 as the cathode material.

The cost of Li-ion batteries currently affects the affordability of plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles (PHEV/EV) for consumers. For the field test, researchers will deploy aged EV batteries at the University of California (UC), San Diego’s campus-wide electric power grid. NREL PHEV/EV Li-Ion Battery Second-Use Project.

A new method developed for studying battery failures points to a potential next step in extending lithium-ion battery lifetime and capacity. Their findings suggest a way to mitigate battery failures by minimizing the generation of elastic energy. A paper on their work is published in the ACS journal Nano Letters. —Ulvestad et al.
