Nanotechnology in Modern Practical Electric Vehicles

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the batteries using nanotechnology and the applications of nanotechnology in electric vehicle (EV) material. The reason why the topic is important is that EVs have a huge market nowadays. In order to make a process and reach a higher level in the performance of the batteries and materials of the car body, nanotechnology is an essential element in it. Four aspects are studied in this report: how batteries work, the improvements of the 4680 batteries, the application of nanotechnology in future batteries, and other applications of nanotechnology on cars. Through the research, it is found that the 4680 battery uses more nanotechnology and is a big improvement over the previous two generations; by shaping silicon nanoparticles into several shapes exampled by shapes of wire and eggs, it is made possible for the material to overcome its problem of fracturing and thereby to be able to be used as the material for future EVs; the application of nanotechnology on cars can greatly improve the safety and comfort of EVs.
