Title: Enabling Extreme Fast Charging through Control of Li Deposition Overpotential on Graphite Electrodes

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1869405· OSTI ID:1869405

Currently produced electric vehicles (EVs) rely on the use of lithium ion battery technology due to its high energy and power density. However, a major barrier facing the adoption of electric vehicles is that currently utilized Li-ion batteries take significantly longer to recharge (~ 30 minutes) compared to the time necessary to refuel vehicles powered by internal combustion engines (< 10 minutes). Thus, the need to develop Li-ion batteries which can be charged in approximately 10 minutes (6 C rate) without sacrificing range, cost, or cycle life is critical for the widespread implementation of EVs.
