This project tackles lithium-ion battery challenges in Qatar’s extreme desert climate (35°C to 55°C). It investigates battery degradation through electrochemical experiments, modeling, and safety strategies to mitigate thermal runaway risks. Key goals include developing predictive models for battery lifespan, optimizing operational guidelines, and enhancing material stability for high-temperature resilience. Collaboration with local transport and EV sectors will provide real-world data for diagnostics and model validation. This research aims to improve battery performance, safety, and reliability without adding system complexity or cost.
