Fast-charging Li-ion Batteries – Optimizing Cell Design, Size, Electrolyte, and Usage Profile

Relevance for Batteries Sweden:

Fast charging is a cornerstone for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and other battery-powered technologies, offering enhanced convenience and flexibility. However, it also introduces significant challenges, including accelerated battery degradation, lithium plating, and increased risk of thermal runaway. Addressing these issues is essential to ensure the safety, longevity, and performance of next-generation lithium-ion batteries.
