In its goal of developing more fuel efficient vehicles, the US Department of Energy in collaboration with the US auto industries are focusing on high-power and high energy lithium-ion batteries to meet the energy storage requirements for HEV and PHEV applications. Under these auspices, Argonne National Laboratory is investigating several different lithium ion chemistries in order to address the calendar life, cost and safety of high power and high energy lithium ion batteries for transportation applications
To meet the high-energy requirement that can enable the 40-miles electric drive P-HEVs, It is necessary to develop very high energy cathode or anode that offers 5,000 charge-depleting cycles, 15 years calendar life as well as excellent abuse tolerance. These challenging requirements make it difficult for conventional cathode materials to be adopted in P-HEVs. In this paper, we report on several advanced battery chemistry that could be bused to power Hybrid electric vehicles. We also discuss several future high energy battery technologies that can enable 40 miles Plug in Hybrid and long range electric vehicles.
