About the Event – 2023 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference & Expo

For more than 10 years, ITEC has served as IEEE’s premier conference on transportation electrification, fostering connections between industry and academia. This year’s conference will be held from June 21-23, 2023, at the newly renovated Huntington Place Convention Center, located in downtown Detroit, Michigan and within walking distance of top-of-the-line restaurants and entertainment. Join us on June 20th for a welcome reception to network and pick up your registration materials.

Subject – Fast Charge of High Energy Li-ion Batteries Utilizing Intelligent Battery Management Systems

With emerging trends in transportation electrification, fast charging of high-energy Li-ion batteries can help to break through the bottleneck of its widespread adoption. Rapid charging 50% of battery capacity within 10-15 minutes, commonly referred to as ‘filling the tank’ experience, could dramatically reduce the vehicle downtime as well as the overall battery pack size, especially for fleet vehicles.

In this work, an intelligent battery thermal management (iBTM) technology expands on the current use of phase change composite (PCC) technology for thermal management and safety of Li-ion batteries. Our group has successfully commercialized a passive Li-ion battery thermal management technology using phase change material (PCM) that is micro-encapsulated within an expanded graphite matrix. The PCC technology is an elegant passive thermal management solution that can enhance battery performance, extend cycle life, and prevent thermal runaway propagation
