1. Overview: 2. Research Background: The increasing need to reduce CO2 and SO2 emissions due to climate change necessitates improvements in electric vehicle efficiency. While Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors are widely used in EVs due to their high power density, efficiency, and reliability, their operational lifespan is limited by high internal heat generation and
1. Overview: 2. Research Background: High-performance conductors are essential for economically and environmentally sustainable electricity transfer in modern infrastructure, manufacturing, and transportation, including electric vehicles. While copper has been the traditional conductor of choice, aluminum offers significant advantages in terms of cost and weight reduction for electricity transmission and distribution. Over 14% of global aluminum
