| Sumario: | The automotive sector is rapidly accelerating its transformation towards electric mobility, and electric vehicle (EV) sales have been increasing year after year since the beginning of the decade. Due to their overall performance, lithium-ion batteries currently dominate the electric vehicle market. Each year, car manufacturers launch new models, increasing the average capacity of electric vehicle batteries. This is achieved, in part, through making bigger batteries, which lead to an increase in the vehicle cost, weight and use of more critical raw materials. Although prices are lowering, Li-ion batteries still do not have enough energy density to substantially decrease the weight of vehicles, and EVs are around 50% heavier than common internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV); thus, using high-energy cells is an intriguing possibility that we are being called on to explore. This Special Issue aims to evaluate several issues concerning high-capacity batteries |
