Innovations in Lithium-Titanium Oxide (LTO) Battery Technology Coupled with Advanced Battery Management System Strategies for Electric Vehicles

Abstract

The rapid global growth of electric vehicle (EV) adoption has intensified the need for advanced battery technologies that can withstand fast charging while ensuring high thermal stability and extended cycle life. Conventional lithium-ion batteries, though widely used, face critical challenges such as excessive heat generation, susceptibility to thermal runaway, and accelerated degradation during rapid charging cycles. This research focuses on lithium-titanium oxide (LTO) batteries as a promising alternative. Using MATLAB-based simulations, the study evaluates parameters such as heat generation, temperature response, and power efficiency under high-current charging conditions. Results indicate that LTO batteries exhibit superior thermal behavior, producing only 100 W of heat with a temperature rise of 4 °C, compared to 480 W and 19.2 °C observed in lithium-ion counterparts. To further enhance efficiency, an advanced Battery Management System (BMS) is integrated, employing predictive control algorithms, active cell balancing, and real-time monitoring. This integration optimizes charging dynamics, reduces thermal stress, and extends overall battery lifespan. The outcomes confirm that LTO batteries coupled with intelligent BMS solutions provide a safe, reliable, and sustainable pathway for future EV applications. These advancements hold significant potential for strengthening EV charging infrastructure, reducing energy losses, and supporting global environmental sustainability goals.
