EV Battery Breakthrough May Prevent Fires Entirely
- But battery scientists are inching closer to developing chemistries that can prevent EV fires altogether. A study published in academic journal Small explains how the potentially
The article from MSN discusses a significant advancement in electric vehicle (EV) battery technology aimed at preventing fires. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed a new type of battery that incorporates a non-flammable electrolyte, which could eliminate the risk of thermal runaway—a common cause of EV fires. This innovation uses a fluorinated component in the electrolyte, making it much less reactive and thus safer. The breakthrough not only promises to enhance safety but also aims to improve the overall performance and longevity of EV batteries. This development could potentially accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles by addressing one of the major concerns of consumers regarding battery safety.
