Post-lithium-ion battery chemistries for hybrid electric vehicles and battery electric vehicles
P. Kurzweil University of Applied Sciences, Amberg, Germany
Abstract
Next-generation batteries designed to be the powerful successors of today’s lithium-ion technology are hopefully called post-lithium systems. However, no lithium-ion cell chemistry has yet been found that is able to meet the challenges of battery electric vehicle propulsion over long distances as fossil fuels are already doing in internal combustion engines. Future visions focus completely on new approaches to meet the challenge of energy densities above 200 Wh kg− 1. Critics complain that the target of 400 Wh kg− 1 by the end of the decade is unrealistic. Such batteries would ...
