Nanotechnology enabled hybrid power system suitable for batteries in hybrid electric vehicle

Abstract

Hybrid electric vehicles are playing very important key role in transportation. As atmospheric imbalance is a cause of large amount of carbon emission due to fuel used in vehicles. So to mitigate this problem use of electric vehicles is increasing day by day. Lithium-ion batteries are playing very crucial role in hybrid electric vehicles. As these batteries are very beneficial for proper functioning of hybrid electric vehicles. So Lithium-ion is the best and most promising choice at the present. Lithium-ion batteries have myriad amount of applications in the field of electric vehicles and portable electronics. The worldwide demand for a clean, low fuel-consuming road transportation system has given raises to the rapid growth of hybrid electric vehicles. Nanotechnology is playing vital role in enhancing the battery life. So use of nanostructure materials in battery design is increasing day by day. This enables battery to become effectual in many applications Lithium- ion batteries (LIBs) are the best choice as they have advantages such as high energy density, high discharge power and long service life. In large scale applications of lithium ion battery important aspects such as safety, toxicity, cost and myriad of raw materials become highly significant and also high discharge rate requirements can be fulfill by the use of nanostructure materials to achieve performance targets. This paper mainly focuses on use of nanotechnology in lithium-ion battery technology. For this purpose system can be designed which is combination of many technology and based on nanotechnology that enables to use nanostructure materials for lithium ion battery used in hybrid electric vehicles. This system is nanotechnology enabled hybrid system which can be very beneficial to ameliorates the performance of the battery that will further helps in ameliorating performance of hybrid electric vehicles. Super capacitors are used in parallel combination in the hybrid system to increases battery performance, efficiency and life of battery this system can play important role in betterment of transportation as well as in enhancing electrification of transportation. Nanostructure materials in batteries ameliorate the electrochemical performances of existing electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, for this purpose nanotechnology based hybrid system is very beneficial.
