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 seeks 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.
