Challenges
1.Silicon-based Anodes in EV Lithium-ion Batteries:
Silicon anodes have shown great potential for improving the energy density and capacity of lithium-ion batteries, making them attractive for use in electric vehicles. However, a major challenge with silicon anodes is their rapid deterioration during charging and discharging cycles.
This is due to the absorption of lithium ions by the silicon material, leading to its expansion and contraction. As a result, the anode structure becomes unstable over time, impacting battery performance and longevity.
2.Battery Management System (BMS) Technology Limitations:
Battery Management Systems play a critical role in monitoring and controlling the performance of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. However, the ability of BMS to accurately predict the State of Health (SOH) of the battery remains a significant challenge.
This uncertainty poses a dilemma for EV owners and operators as they need to decide whether to replace the battery prematurely to avoid potential failures or risk waiting until a failure occurs.
Innovations
