Title: The role of ferrites in wireless charging systems for electric vehicles

Journal Article · · Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials

This review examines the critical role of magnetic ceramic ferrites in wireless charging systems (WCS) for electric vehicles (EVs). With the increasing shift towards electrifying motor vehicles, advanced charging systems are needed to optimize EV range and performance. Magnetic materials are vital in WCS, as they act as a coupler that enhances power transfer. However, design limitations in weight and size motivate the need for systems tailored to meet a range of specifications. Additionally, ferrite systems can be tailored by altering composition, microstructure, and processing. Furthermore, this review examines advanced manufacturing techniques for improved ferrite design and identifies future directions for ferrite core research to meet future WCS needs.
