Lithium ion battery cells for automotive applications.

A prototype li ion battery was developed by akira yoshino in 1985 based on earlier research by john goodenough m. Although the quality of battery fabrication has improved guarding against higher temperature and fault conditions in any automotive application remains crucial for reliable operation. This topic has already been the subject of some studies but although of primary importance the role on cost of a cell design parameter the. Such cells provide a relatively light and small source of energy and are now manufactured in very large quantities 1 billion cells per year in an automotive application a lithium ion battery consists of tens to thousands of individual cells packaged together to provide the.

The construction of a typical cylindrical cell is shown in figure 2 while figure 3 shows a typical pouch cell. The purpose of this study was to highlight the technical and economic issues arising in lithium ion cells for automotive applications and to indicate some potential solutions to lower the cost. A lithium ion battery or li ion battery abbreviated as lib is a type of rechargeable battery lithium ion batteries are commonly used for portable electronics and electric vehicles and are growing in popularity for military and aerospace applications.
