Week 1 Understanding Different Battery Chemistry
|
Lithium ion battery |
Characteristics |
Applications |
|
Lithium Cobalt Oxide(LCO) |
very high specific energy |
phones, laptops and electronic cameras |
|
Lithium Manganese Oxide(LMO) |
high temperature stability |
medical equipment, power tools and electric bikes |
|
Lithium Iron Phosphate(LFP) |
low resistance property, durability and a long lifecycle |
electric motorcycles |
|
Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide(NMC) |
either have high specific energy density or high specific power and has very low self-heating rate |
power tools and powertrains for vehicles |
|
Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminium Oxide(NCA) |
good lifespan, but they are not safe |
electric powertrains and in grid storage |
|
Lithium Titanate(LTO) |
lower inherent voltage and fast recharge time |
electric vehicles, electric buses for public transportation military and aerospace uses |
Finally what I felt is chosing best battery is in the task which we think of, so based upon the task the characteristics are found so that the battery type id chosen accordingly.
