Synopsis

Thanks to their improved performance and the continuous decrease of their manufacturing costs, lithium batteries, initially marketed in 1991 by SONY to power portable equipment, now play a key role in the expected massive development of electric mobility.

Connected to the electricity grid via the electrified vehicles they will power, lithium batteries will also be used as a massive means of buffering renewable energies, as well as tools for supporting the network (peak shaving, frequency regulation, etc.), making it possible to multiply their usefulness beyond their primary function (ensuring vehicle mobility).

These developments will profoundly transform our societies, and will not only make it possible to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and the consumption of fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal), but also, if they are conducted and coordinated effectively, to contribute to economic growth.

The development of electric mobility thus offers a unique opportunity to reconcile legitimate environmental protection requirements with industrial development objectives.

The aim of this book is to provide the reader with an overview of lithium battery technologies, to give an overview of current initiatives around the world, and to outline some perspectives for the future.

About this title

About the Authors

Didier BLOCH is a graduate engineer from the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble. He worked for several years in industry (Schneider Electric, VARTA GmbH), then was recruited by the CEA in 1992. In 1996, he became head of the "Electrochemical Energy Storage" Laboratory (Lithium Batteries and Fuel Cells), then Program Manager "New Technologies for Energy". He is an expert for OPECST, the EC, the ANR. Since 2016, he has been in charge of the "Battery Materials" laboratory at CEA-LITEN. In 2017-2018, he is an expert on "batteries and electric vehicles" within the "Coexistence of Nuclear and Renewable Energies" Working Group led by the High Commissioner for Atomic Energy.

Dr. Sébastien MARTINET has more than 25 years of experience in the battery field. After a Ph.D related to NiMH batteries with SAFT, he was involved on Li-ion safety improvement in SAFT research center. He then joined CEA in 1999 where he was first in charge of developing the Li-ion process line. He was in charge of the battery laboratory from 2006 to 2009 and then managed scientific activities related to batteries, both Li-ion and post Li-ion.

Dr. Thierry PRIEM, Storage and Flexibility Solution Program Manager at CEA, has an engineering degree from the elite French "École Polytechnique" and "École Nationale Superieure des Mines de Paris". He also has a Ph.D in solid-state physics. Thierry Priem has a broad technical and scientific background at CEA (French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission) in different research fields: material science, new energies, etc. Thierry Priem teaches in several engineering schools and is regularly involved in national and European expert missions. For 4 years, Thierry Priem has been at the head of a service of 60 people involved in new energies (hydrogen and fuel cells, photovoltaics, etc.). He has also an experience in technology transfer and negotiation with industrial partners. Mid-2007, he has been the Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Program Manager within the Direction of the New Technologies for Energy at CEA in Grenoble. In 2014, he joined the Scientific Direction at CEA/LITEN. Since 2020, he is Storage and Flexibility Solution Program Manager at CEA. He is also member of the Board of the FCH-JU2 Research Grouping "Hydrogen Europe Research".
