Fast charging is critical for the adoption of electric vehicles (EV’s), but higher current charging typically comes at the expense of battery life. Multistage constant current (MCC), pulse charging, boost charging, and variable current profiles (VCP) are among the fast charging methods used to reduce charging time without impacting battery life.
Traditional fast charging methods usually entail charging the battery with high currents. Nonetheless, prolonged high-current constant charging can cause a progressive rise in battery temperatures. Excessive temperature can shorten the lifespan of LIBs, leading to decreased battery performance and driving range .
The fast charging of Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs) is an active ongoing area of research over three decades in industry and academics. The objective is to design optimal charging strategies that minimize charging time while maintaining battery performance, safety, and charger practicality.
New work on fast-charging batteries has recently been reported by Zhang and colleagues. 93 This article focuses on the extremely fast charging of high energy LIBs by engineering the electrolyte to reduce the charge transfer energy barriers at both the anode and cathode.
Fast charging capability has therefore become one of the key features targeted by battery and EV industries. However, charging at high rates has been shown to accelerate degradation, causing both the capacity and power capability of batteries to deteriorate.
Fast charging is normally accompanied by high heat generation rates and significant inhomogeneities. At the same time, high charging currents applied at low temperatures may be detrimental to battery lifetime and safety. As such, effective and flexible thermal management strategies are critical to enabling fast charging in all conditions.
