IIT Gandhinagar Researchers Develop Adaptive Charging Technique to Reduce Lithium Plating in EV Batteries

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) have developed an adaptive charging technique designed to reduce wear on lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. This method specifically targets lithium plating, a process that occurs when metallic lithium builds up on the anode during charging, which can degrade battery capacity and safety over time.

The research team designed the charging protocol to adjust current levels dynamically throughout the charging cycle. By monitoring the battery’s internal state, the system modulates the flow of electricity to prevent the conditions that lead to lithium accumulation. This approach aims to extend the overall lifespan of the battery while maintaining charging efficiency. The findings provide a technical framework for managing battery health, addressing a primary factor in the long-term performance of electric vehicle power systems.
