Understanding Lithium Batteries for Electric Vehicle Applications -- a new EWI guide Lithium-ion batteries are costly, but they dominate in electric vehicle applications because they can achieve high operating voltages and very high energy efficiency while also maintaining a small size and footprint. With so much interest in Li batteries comes more R&D geared to...

Electric vehicle battery pack covers have usually been made of steel or aluminum. Now there are polymer and polymer composite materials that can be used for battery boxes and contribute to both lightweighting and performance. These options are covered in Next Generation Battery Pack Housing – Materials, Processing, and Design, an article written by EWI...

As the international energy industry shifts toward a more sustainable, carbon-neutral future, there are two growing areas of interest: Hydrogen generation, transmission, and infrastructure Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) Hydrogen, an emerging fuel source, holds great promise as a renewable, low-carbon resource. Production technologies are accelerating and becoming more viable. However, there are coexisting...
