Explosion Free Battery Technology

January 4, 2019/in In the News/by Gray Leigh

Explosion Free Battery Makes Lithium-Ion Safer than Ever

There have been 225 air or airport-related incidents involving lithium-ion batteries since 1991. Consequently, the development of an explosion free battery is a priority.

California-based tech firm Amionx reports they’ve made a significant contribution to the achievement of this goal. Furthermore, it expects to license the patent for use in commercial products by the end of 2019. Granted, incidents of batteries exploding are rare. Moreover, SafeCore (Amionx’s patented battery technology) performed very well in ‘torture tests.’

Safer Science

Conventional lithium-ion batteries burst into flames when stabbed, shot or smashed. Meanwhile, SafeCore batteries did no such thing. This is because SafeCore batteries don’t undergo thermal runaway. Overcharging at high voltage can cause this. Additionally, if two electrodes experience an internal short. Ultimately, the solvent along the separator vaporizes.

What is the separator? Only a thin polymer that ions flow through. As a result, ions flow free and cause damage.

Lithium and Clean Energy Tech

Furthermore, the layer rapidly decomposes when there’s a rise in temperature, current or temperature. Consequently, an air gap is created within the cell, stopping the flow of electrons.

Developments like this are crucial to the development of clean energy technologies. Moreover, advances in lithium battery technology happen weekly. If climate change is to be successfully combatted, trailblazers like Amionx need funding.
