Nanotechnology in Development of Batteries for Electric Vehicles

Abstract: This paper discusses different methods to enhance the efficiency and life of an electric vehicle. This document addresses many strategies for increasing an electric vehicle's efficiency and lifespan. To address the need for electric vehicle applications, many battery research and development are undertaken in both academia and industry. Lithium-ion batteries play a significant part in hybrid electric vehicles and are quite useful. Nanotechnology plays a critical role in extending the life of batteries. As a result, the usage of nanostructured materials in battery design is becoming more common. In this Review, we provide an overview of nanostructured materials that have been marketed or are on their way to commercialization for hybrid electric vehicle applications and those in development that have the potential to meet the needs of long-range electric vehicles.
