Solid-state batteries incorporate a safer, fast-charging architecture featuring a solid-state electrolyte versus the liquid electrolytes in today’s lithium-ion batteries. A successful solid-state commercial battery system could provide at least two times the energy density of lithium-ion batteries in a much smaller footprint.

Lithium-ion batteries have a profound role in triggering the EV revolution going on now. The ingenious idea to incorporate Li-ion batteries transformed electric vehicles from boring and lame to thrilling and exhilarating. Another concern is that ‘what to do with the Li-ion batteries once their lifetime is over?’

The memory effect of the battery is written in a cycle with partial charging (here, 50% of the battery’s storage capacity) followed by complete discharge. In the subsequent cycle, the memory effect is evident through an overvoltage (small “bump”) at precisely the same point at which the partial charging cycle terminates. Sasaki et al.

The traditional design paradigm for Li-ion battery cathodes has been to create compounds in which the amount of extractable Li + is well balanced with an oxidizable transition metal (TM) species (such as Mn, Fe, Co or Ni) to provide the charge-compensating electrons, all contained in an oxide or sulfide host.

The price of the lithium-ion batteries used in the EVs is the main culprit for the high initial cost of any electric vehicle in any part of the world. The main raw materials of a Li-ion battery are Lithium, Nickel, and Cobalt. They are scarce but hold roles in the proper functioning of the Li-ion batteries.

Louis (WUSTL) will receive $2 million from the US Department of Energy’s ARPA-E to design a predictive battery management system for lithium-ion batteries to guarantee their longevity, safety and performance. If Li-ion batteries are charged too quickly, they can heat up and may explode. Earlier post , earlier post.).

There are multiple interesting aspects to the vehicle, including GM’s rationale for offering fast charging as an option (it’s not to go across country), but one of the most manifest when driving the car (aside from the “Wheee!” Currently, DOE data suggests that 90% of charging is done at home. The firsts of the Spark EV.
