Building Batteries that don't Break in the Cold

Battery performance suffers under cold conditions because conventional batteries contain a liquid electrolyte that can freeze, leaving the battery unable to charge or discharge.

­Extreme winter weather can strain power systems, stall electric vehicles and leave backup batteries unable to deliver energy when it is most needed. Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed a battery design that continues operating through the coldest conditions. The team, led by Dr. Jodie Lut

Figure 1: Stability versus Current

- Low current condition (Vds=200V)

- High current condition (Vds=200V)

­Engineers working with Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs encounter this firsthand when parallel devices begin exhibiting unexpected oscillations. What starts as a subtle waveform irregularity on an oscilloscope trace can quickly reveal deeper design sensitivities in high-speed switching environments. Parallel-connected SiC MOSFE
