Stanford Researchers Develop Fireproof Lithium-ion Batteries with Electrolyte Salt

published: 2022-12-12 16:15
High flammability has been the biggest problem that needs to be solved for lithium-ion batteries. A few days ago, a research team in Stanford University made a breakthrough by developing a non-flammable electrolyte that prevents the battery from catching fire even when exposed to flame. The researchers solved the long-standing safety issue associated with lithium-ion batteries by using a simple tactic: adding more salt. ...  more
