Review on fire safety of battery separators

Review on fire safety of battery separators

Flame retardant separators are important to prevent or limit lithium ion battery fires and thermal runaway. The separator in lithium ion battery cells prevents direct contact between anode and cathode, leading to internal short circuit, resulting in overheating, and...
Full-scale fire test of EV battery

Full-scale fire test of EV battery

In just 22 seconds, cell thermal runaway spreads flames throughout the battery compartment. A full-scale fire test was carried out on a battery system of seventeen 3P6S battery modules mounted with control systems in a car chassis. One battery module was overcharged...
