22nd International Symposium for Production Research, ISPR 2022, Antalya, Türkiye, 6 - 08 Ekim 2022, ss.524-540, (Tam Metin Bildiri)
Lithium ion battery technology is the most promising energy storage system thanks to many advantages such as high capacity, cycle life, rate performance and modularity. Many transportation applications including marine, aerospace and railway have been utilizing lithium ion batteries. Likewise, there is a dramatic transition from conventional vehicles having internal combustion engines to electric vehicles (EVs). In this review, current lithium ion technology and electric vehicles are introduced. Furthermore, expected future technological advancements are discussed from the active materials to scalability. It can be summarized that consumers have three main concerns towards electric vehicles: range, charging time and life time. Possible solutions to overcome the range anxiety, charging time, and lifetime are exhibited from mostly material and cell design perspectives. Although it is possible to enlarge the volume of this review, the key subjects are presented by introducing the most current advancements which can be adapted to current production infrastructures. Those achievements in the battery level will transform the global transportation sector.
