Nano metal oxide, Lithium-ion, Nano technology, Batteries, Electric vehicles.Abstract
Metal oxides are highly useful in electronics and environmental cleanup because, when exposed to the right amount of energy, they ability to improve battery performance—specifically, energy density, power density, and cycle life—nano metal oxides have attracted a lot of interest in the field of electric vehicle (EV) battery research. A thorough assessment of research covering different types of metal oxide nanoparticles, methodology, applications, and analytical techniques is provided. This review article also categorizes the importance of different types of nano metal oxides and Nano Technology that have been explored for use in EV batteries, its applications in various fields and about use of nano metal oxides Lithium-ion batteries are discussed.
