National laboratories, industry and academia are collaborating to provide electric vehicle manufacturers with batteries that are more reliable, high-performing, safe, and less expensive.

Visualizing a battery's lithium "whiskers" and their degrading effects

A recent study pinpointed the reaction front where lithium (Li) dendrites can come into contact with cathode materials. It also detailed the Li propagation pathway and reaction steps that lead to cathode failure.

Battery Charging Control Methods, Electric Vehicle Charging Methods, Battery Charging Apparatus and Rechargeable Battey Systems

The invention represents an algorithm to provide a form of regulation up and down services to the electric power grid using a plug-in electric hybrid vehicle (PHEV/EV) or electric vehicle (EV). The basis for this regulation will come from frequency measurements of the power grid. The actual charge rate of the PHEV/EV charger will be adjusted using this regulation signal and information about any charging constraints imposed upon the charger (such as a desired finish time).
