Summary

The reduction of our dependence from oil as primary energy source as well as the reduction of CO2 emissions is currently one of the key drivers for automotive development. The introduction and promotion of electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) can significantly contribute to these global objectives. Lithium ion technology is one of the key enabling technologies for this epochal change. Therefore the paper investigates the state of the art of lithium ion batteries and gives an overview over the variety of possible chemistries as well as the main development issues to realise highly optimised, reliable and safe Li-ion batteries applicable for HEVs and EVs. These issues are investigated on two levels: the cell level and the system level. On both levels different aspects have to be considered to allow a wide introduction of lithium ion batteries in automotive applications.

Zusammenfassung

Die Reduktion der Abhängigkeit von fossilen Treibstoffen und der CO2-Emissionen ist derzeit eine der zentralen Triebkräfte in der automotiven Forschung und Entwicklung. In diesem Zusammenhang spielt die Einführung von Elektro- und Plug-in-Hybridfahrzeugen eine wesentliche Rolle, wobei Lithium-Ionen-Technologie als zentraler Enabler für die Forcierung dieser alternativen Antriebskonzepte angesehen werden kann. Dieser Beitrag gibt daher einen Überblick über den derzeitigen Entwicklungsstand von Li-Ionen-Batterien, deren chemische Vielfalt sowie die zentralen Anforderungen an die Entwicklung hoch optimierter, verlässlicher und sicherer Li-Ionen-Batterien für Elektro- und Hybridfahrzeuge. Der Entwicklungsprozess ist dabei auf zwei Ebenen zu betrachten: der Zellebene und der Systemebene. Auf beiden Ebenen sind unterschiedliche Aspekte zu berücksichtigen, um eine breite Einführung von Li-Ionen-Technologie für automotive Anwendungen zu ermöglichen.
