Advances in Lithium-Ion Batteries for Electric Vehicles

Haifeng Dai (Senior Member, IEEE) received B.S. and M.S. degrees in mechanical engineering and his Ph.D. degree in automotive engineering from Tongji University, Shanghai, China, in 2003, 2005, and 2008, respectively. He is currently a Professor at the National Fuel Cell Vehicle and Powertrain System Research and Engineering Center and the School of Automotive Studies, Tongji University. He has been involved in the research of vehicle electrification for more than 10 years and has carried out original research on vehicle electrification including battery multi-domain & multi-scale modeling, state estimation and thermal management, system control, etc. He has published more than 120 papers and is the IEEE Senior Member and one of Elsevier’s “Most Cited Researchers.” Dr. Jiangong Zhu is an Associate Professor at Tongji University. He received his Ph.D. degree in automotive engineering from Tongji University, Shanghai, China, in 2017. He was previously a Post-Doctoral Researcher with the Institute for Applied Materials—Energy Storage Systems (IAM-ESS), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Karlsruhe, Germany. He is a “Humboldtian” with the support from the Humboldt Foundation. His research focus is on applying the ex-situ (post-mortem analysis) and in-situ methods (e.g., impedance, neutron powder diffraction) to investigate the battery degradation, and inventing new science methods (e.g., machine learning and optimization) to prognose the battery state of health and manage the battery lifespan.
