Energy and environmental assessment of a traction lithium-ion battery pack for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

ABSTRACT: Traction batteries are a key factor in the environmental sustainability of electric mobility and, therefore, it is necessary to evaluate their environmental performance to allow a comprehensive sustainability assessment of electric mobility. This article presents an environmental assessment of a lithium-ion traction battery for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, characterized by a composite cathode material of lithium manganese oxide (LiMn₂O₄) and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide Li(Ni_xCo_yMn_1-x-y)O₂. Composite cathode material is an emerging technology that promises to combine the merits of several active materials into a hybrid electrode to optimize performance and reduce costs. In this study, the environmental assessme
