Lithium batteries are the most promising energy storage device for hybrid
electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). Their
use in HEVs and PHEVs would effectively reduce the consumption of fossil fuels
in vehicles. However, there are key technological challenges that hinder the
wide-spread commercial use of lithium batteries.
The 1st International Conference on Advanced Lithium Batteries for Automotive
Applications brought together in one place an international corps of federal
research agencies from the United States, China, Japan, Europe and Korea and
leading auto and battery makers, scientists and engineers that are actively
involved in the development of safe, economical and long-lasting lithium batteries.
Argonne National Laboratory brings the world's brightest scientists and engineers
together to find exciting and creative new solutions to pressing national problems
in science and technology. The nation's first national laboratory, Argonne
conducts leading-edge basic and applied scientific research in virtually every
scientific discipline. Argonne researchers work closely with researchers from
hundreds of companies, universities, and federal, state and municipal agencies
to help them solve their specific problems, advance America 's scientific leadership
and prepare the nation for a better future. With employees from more than 60
nations, Argonne is managed by UChicago
Argonne, LLC for the U.S.
Department of Energy's Office
of Science.
