Surface modification and fabrication of Li-ion battery components for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle

摘要

This paper addresses an important issue for the practical application of lithium ion batteries in PHEV. More specifically, preliminary research results on the coating of separators, welding of battery tabs, and fabrication and surface featuring of anodic and cathodic current collectors are presented. These developments aim at improving the power performance, reliability, and safety of lithium ion batteries.
