Pre-Ha process for electric vehicle using Li-ion battery
Added by Jordi P.
Step 1
Battery Cell Production: The first step in the pre-Ha process for an electric vehicle using a Li-ion battery is the production of the battery cells. This involves the manufacturing of the individual cells that will be used to create the battery pack. Show more…

Li-ion batteries used in automobiles typically use a LiMn_ $_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}$ cathode in place of the LiCoO $_{2}$ cathode found in most Li-ion batteries. (a) Calculate the mass percent lithium in each electrode material. (b) Which material has a higher percentage of lithium? Does this help to explain why batteries made with $\mathrm{LiMn}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}$ cathodes deliver less power on discharging? (c) In a battery that uses a LiCoO$_{2}$ cathode, approximately 50$\%$ of the lithium migrates from the cathode to the anode on charging. In a battery that uses a LiMn_ $_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}$ cathode, what fraction of the lithium in LiMn_ $_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}$ would need to migrate out of the cathode to deliver the same amount of lithium to the graphite anode?
Briefly explain how a lithium ion battery works. In your explanation describe the anode and the cathode, and write the half reactions that occur at each electrode. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of using lithium ion batteries? What are lithium ion batteries mainly used for? Describe the conditions necessary for the explosion of a lithium ion battery. Write the chemical equation that describes the explosion. What is the enthalpy change associated with this process. Is it an endothermic or exothermic process? What are some of the limitations of using lithium ion batteries to power automobiles?
