6 DOE-funded applied battery research projects targeting Li-ion cells with >200 Wh/kg for PHEVs and EVs

Green Car Congress

The objective of the projects is to develop cells that provide more than 200 Wh/kg energy density, along with long cycle life and excellent abuse tolerance to enable 40-mile-range plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and electric vehicles (EVs). hybrid, pug-in hybrid or EV) using particle morphology, composition and nanocoatings.

Argonne and Hanyang University Develop New High-Energy Cathode Material With Improved Thermal Stability; Good Fit for PHEV Applications

Green Car Congress

SEM of Li[Ni 0.64 Mn 0.18 ]O 2 particle with concentration gradient of Ni, Co, and Mn contents. The results, say the researchers, suggest that the cathode material could enable production of batteries that meet the demanding performance and safety requirements of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. From Sun et al.

Penn State team devises solution for fast charging of Li-ion batteries at cold temperatures

Green Car Congress

Now, a team from Penn State has devised an approach that enables 15-min fast charging of Li-ion batteries in any temperatures (even at ?50 As such, a plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV) cell that can withstand a 4-C charge without lithium plating at 25 °C can only allow a 1.5-C C charge at 10 °C and C/1.5 Yang et al.

The 80-20 Rule

Plug In Partners

O ften when I talk about Plug-Ins , I say that PHEV's are a perfect embodiment of the 80-20 rule. But in the case of the PHEV , the logic goes something like this: Roughly 80% of our daily trips are under 35 miles. Here's a piece of it: Why do PHEVs reduce greenhouse pollution ? And the remaining 20% are longer trips.
