Are Li-ion batteries the future of EV storage?

Scholars began considering Li-ion batteries as the most promising storage solution for future EVs . Over the past ten years, Li-ion batteries have replaced lead/acid ones in many applications, and the market share of Li-ion batteries will eventually surpass the lead/acid batteries by 2027 .

Will modularity halve the cost of a single battery pack?

Modularity remains a good solution for the design of customized batteries. However, the series production for automotive requires new cost-effective solutions. Therefore, new CTC and CTP approaches will be proposed in the next future, together with customized manufacturing factories, to halve the cost of a single battery pack.

How to increase battery sustainability?

Second-life applications and recycling techniques are two solutions for increasing battery sustainability. These practices should be analyzed during the early design phase. Li-ion batteries' carbon footprint in automobiles can even decrease by 17 %, considering second-life applications and high recycling materials .

What is a battery design platform?

A design platform could integrate simulations, data-driven, and life cycle methods. Nowadays, battery design must be considered a multi-disciplinary activity focused on product sustainability in terms of environmental impacts and cost. The paper reviews the design tools and methods in the context of Li-ion battery packs.
