Title: Perspectives of automotive battery R&D in China, Germany, Japan, and the USA

Abstract

Lithium(-ion) batteries are and will be the battery technology of choice for a wide range of applications - including electric vehicles - for several years to come. Nonetheless, to foster the transition from combustion engine vehicles to a fully electrified transportation, further progress is needed. In this regard, the annual International Conference on Advanced Lithium Batteries for Automobile Applications (ABAA) targets the intensive exchange of the involved industrial and research entities to jointly ensure the further progress of this technology. During the past meeting, ABAA-10, held in October 2017 in Chicago, IL, USA, representatives of China, Germany, Japan, and the USA provided a comprehensive overview of the current and future battery R&D activities in their countries, depicting a highly insightful survey about partially concurrent, partially complementary research and funding strategies. Here, the given presentations are provided in the Supplementary Material for this Special Perspective, while this perspective paper may serve as brief introduction to the general development in the field concerning the overall EV sales and common considerations regarding future material developments.

Advanced battery technology for electric two-wheelers in the people's Republic of China.

Technical Report Patil, P G ; Energy Systems

This report focuses on lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology applications for two- and possibly three-wheeled vehicles. The author of this report visited the People's Republic of China (PRC or China) to assess the status of Li-ion battery technology there and to analyze Chinese policies, regulations, and incentives for using this technology and for using two- and three-wheeled vehicles. Another objective was to determine if the Li-ion batteries produced in China were available for benchmarking in the United States. The United States continues to lead the world in Li-ion technology research and development (R&D). Its strong R&D program is funded by themore »« less

Current status of environmental, health, and safety issues of lithium polymer electric vehicle batteries

Technical Report Corbus, D ; Hammel, C J

Lithium solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) batteries are being investigated by researchers worldwide as a possible energy source for future electric vehicles (EVs). One of the main reasons for interest in lithium SPE battery systems is the potential safety features they offer as compared to lithium battery systems using inorganic and organic liquid electrolytes. However, the development of lithium SPE batteries is still in its infancy, and the technology is not envisioned to be ready for commercialization for several years. Because the research and development (R&D) of lithium SPE battery technology is of a highly competitive nature, with many companies bothmore »« less

Battery Thermal Characterization

Conference Saxon, Aron R ; Keyser, Matthew A

A well-designed thermal management system is critical to the life and performance of electric-drive vehicles (EDVs) hybrids (HEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and all-electric vehicles (EVs). Temperature and temperature uniformity both significantly affect the performance, lifespan, and safety of vehicle energy storage devices. NREL conducts thermal management research and development (R&D) to optimize battery performance and extend useful life. A recognized leader in battery thermal analysis and characterization, NREL evaluates electrical and thermal performance of battery cells, modules, and packs, full energy storage systems, and the interaction of these systems with other vehicle components.
