Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Incheon National University scientists have developed a method to improve the stability and properties of lithium ion battery separators with a layer of silicon dioxide and other functional molecules. The study published in Energy Storage Materials demonstrates successful graft polymerization on a polypropylene (PP) separator, incorporating a uniform layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2). Lithium-ion […]

University of California – San Diego nanoengineers have developed a safety feature that prevents lithium metal batteries from rapidly overheating and catching fire in case of an internal short circuit. The clever tweak does not prevent battery failure, but rather provides advance warning of failure and makes it much safer. The team made a clever […]

On the Path to Stop Lithium Battery Fires
March 7, 2013 | Leave a Comment
Its understood now that lithium deposits that form on electrode surfaces called dendrites build up until they cause an internal short circuit and can cause lithium-ion batteries to fail and some cases start a fire. Researchers at Purdue University have shown theoretically how to control or eliminate the formation of dendrites, an advance that if […]
