Abstract

In the past, engine combustion vehicles are one of the most popular traffic tools for people to consider when they want to go out. Developed technologies provide people with more options, such as hybrid and battery electric vehicles. This paper includes a discussion of the applications of nanotechnology in electric vehicles. The paper is divided into two big parts: cathode and anode materials. After researching many resources online, the significance of nanotechnology applications in electric vehicles can be understood better now. One of the most known batteries people use today is the Li-ion battery. The most common one used in the cathode is phosphates, and the most common one used in the anode is graphites. Phosphates also have many alternatives like cobalt, iron and nickel. They all have advantages and disadvantages, and the mission of scientists is to convert disadvantages into advantages. Graphites also play an important role in running a Li-ion battery, but scientists today are looking for better options to replace graphites. Although it is still difficult to achieve the goal of applying nanotechnology in every area of electric vehicles, today's study of nanotechnology in electric vehicles has reference significance, encouraging people to study further.
