Fire Stopper Proposed For Lithium Ion Batteries

November 15, 2022 | Leave a Comment

When overheated Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are prone to catching fire or even exploding. Yet they are used to power everything from smart watches to electric vehicles, thanks to the large amounts of energy they can store in small spaces. A recent research paper published in American Chemical Society’ Nano Letters offers a possible solution with […]
