IIT Hyderabad to collaborate on development of lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles
The Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, in collaboration with ItsEV Inc, plans to develop lithium ion batteries for various applications, including electric vehicles.
IITH and ItsEV Inc expect to come out with a lithium ion battery that will be superior to the other existing batteries in India.
A research group led by Surendra K. Martha, Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry, IIT Hyderabad, has demonstrated that high-energy lithium ion batteries have double the energy of similar batteries produced in 2018. The researchers have also demonstrated 100-200 mAh sodium-ion cells at the Research Centre Imarat (RCI) in the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) laboratory, in Hyderabad.
