Battery systems of electric vehicles suffer from low energy densities as well as high masses and geometrical complexity. The absence of standards for battery cells and peripheral components in combination with large and ...

The setting up of a practical electrically driven light commercial demonstration vehicle with integrated photovoltaics (PV) is reported. The demonstrator vehicle is equipped with 15 modules based on the crystalline ...

Lithium-intercalating materials such as graphite are of great interest, especially for application in lithium-ion batteries. In this work we present an investigation of the electrochemical performance of mesocarbon microbeads ...
