Lithium-ion batteries

Lithium-ion batteries are to replace the nickel-metal hydride batteries that are currently being used in hybrid motor vehicles in order to give electric vehicles, among other things, a much longer travelling range. The automobile industry is conducting extensive studies to examine different cell and system designs, as well as various material pairings, and these have advanced to varying levels of development. The independent battery and fuel cell research institute ZSW (Zentrum für Sonnen energie und Wasserstoffforschung Baden-Württemberg) is suporting se orientation endeavours.
