Types of Lithium ion batteries that powers electric vehicles.
BY AFZAL YOUSAF Lithium ion batteries are widely used to power electric vehicles. There are different types of Lithium ion batteries based on the chemical composition and type of element used in it apart from lithium. Lithium is the active material in it and these batteries are popular as lithium ion batteries. In this article you can read about different types of Lithium ion batteries used in electric vehicles. Types of Li ion batteries are:- Lithium ferrophosphate. Lithium manganese oxide. Lithium cobalt oxide. Lithium Titanate. Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide. Lithium Ferrous phosphate (LFP) Lithium iron phosphate battery ( LiFePO4 battery ) or LFP battery is the most commonly used lithium battery in electric vehicles. In this battery chemistry, LiFePO4 is used as cathode material and graphitic carbon electrode with a metallic backing as the anode. This type have lower operating voltage around 3.2 V. Due to its ...
