Resumen
Future progress in hybrid and battery vehicles heavily relies on the optimization of involved battery components and
lubricants. Attention must specifically be given to the material composition and surface coatings of the electrodes as well
as the electrolyte used to maximize energy output, while also ensuring safety. Additionally, prioritizing the effective utilization
of specific lubricants for electric motors and various tribological contacts, such as wheel bearings and the steering
system, is the prospective goal of lubrication research. The energy output of the most promising battery, the Li-ion battery
(LIB), must result in driving ranges, which can compete with the 600km driving range of combustion engine (ICE)
vehicles. Consequently, ongoing research activities in cell chemistry, electrode surface engineering, electrolyte engineering,
and engine lubrication offer the greatest opportunity in achieving these goals.
