A Review on Mechanical Behavior of Lithium Ion Batteries for Electric Vehicles
Abstract: The current automobile industries are much dependent on conventional petroleum fuels like petrol, diesel etc. which are creating many environmental issues due to combustion reactions and generation of carbon dioxide. This continues use of conventional fuels leads to either increasing the price of it and vanishing of its resources in future. Considering this pure battery based electric vehicle or electric vehicle with hybridize combination of battery and any other energy …

Environmental Advantages of Renewable Energy: A Review
Abstract: There is a shortage of fuel in many emerging nations, including India, because of increased manufacturing for many different development initiatives. If the thermal energy sources used to meet this rise in demand are coal-based, environmental damage and high production costs ensue. So, the greatest alternative approach is for the nation to build renewable energy-based power facilities. Sustainable in light of current and future societal, economic, and social demands, renewable …
