7 Materials and Their Properties Best Suited for Rechargeable Batteries [Pg.169]

Studies performed by the author on various types of rechargeable batteries for EVs and HEVs reveal that lithium-based batteries are widely used by various manufacturers. The most widely used rechargeable batteries include Li-ion-manganese-dioxide, Li-ion-iron phosphate, Li-ion-sulfide, and Li-ion-polymer. Performance capabilities and other important characteristics of these batteries are described in great detail in this section, with a particular emphasis on energy density, selfdischarge rate, longevity, and power density.

1 Major Material Costs fora 100 Ah High-Energy Rechargeable Battery Pack [Pg.169]

The material cost of a battery pack is strictly dependent on the energy level, electrical load, and battery capacity requirements. Suitable materials are required for fabrication and protection for the active cathode, anode, electrolyte, separator, cell, and pack container or housing. The latest material cost estimates for a typical high-energy rechargeable battery pack with 100 Ah capacity are summarized in Table 4.9 [7]. [Pg.169]
