The research described in this proposal aims to develop a new Li-ion cell for traction purposes with the following characteristics:• High energy density of at least 200 Wh/kg• Low costs i.e., a maximum of 150 Euro/kWh• Improved safetyAlthough the Li-ion cell appears to be the most appropriate technology to meet these goals, considerable research and development is required. For example, the much- ...
