Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a battery heating system, a battery assembly and an electric vehicle. The battery heating system includes: a battery group having a positive terminal and a negative terminal; a switch having a first end connected with the positive terminal; a large-current discharge module, and a controller connected to the switch and configured to control the switch according to a temperature of the battery group. A first end of the large-current discharge module is connected to a second end of the switch, and a second end of the large-current discharge module is connected to the negative terminal. When the switch is turned on, the battery group discharges via the large-current discharge module and the battery group is heated due to an internal resistance thereof.

The coiled core has a length Lcore and a width Wcore and each connector has a width Wconnector. The length of the coiled core Lcore, width of the coiled core Wcore, and width of each connector Wconnector have the relationship 0core-Wconnector)/Lcore
Abstract:
The present invention provides materials for negative electrodes of lithium rechargeable batteries. These materials include lithium alloy composites. Each lithium alloy composite has a core-shell structure with one or more lithium alloy granules as its core and a carbon material as its shell. The average granule diameter of said lithium alloy granule is between 5 ¦µm and 40¦ µm. The average thickness of the shell layer is between 50 Å and 1000 Å . The average diameter of said lithium alloy composite is between 10¦ µm to 50¦ µm. The methods of fabrication for said material includes the following steps: stirring lithium alloy granules in an organic solution with a coating substance, drying the solid product in said organic solution with a coating substance, calcining the dried product to obtain the negative electrode material with lithium alloy composites. The lithium alloy composites fabricated in this manner have lithium alloy granules as a core coated with a shell of carbon material. Lithium ion rechargeable batteries with a negative electrode of this invention or fabricated by the methods of this invention have excellent initial charge-discharge efficiency, battery capacity and cycle life.
