Scientists create safer lithium-ion batteries with new material
By Knowridge -January 8, 2025
Lithium-ion batteries are crucial for powering electric vehicles and storing renewable energy.
However, many people worry about the safety of the liquid electrolytes they currently use.
These liquids can leak harmful chemicals into the environment or even catch fire if they get too hot.
To solve these problems, scientists are exploring solid-state batteries, which replace the liquid with solid materials.
In a recent study published in Solid State Ionics, Shirley Reis and her team from the SENAI Innovation Institute in Electrochemistry, Brazil, found a way to make solid-state batteries safer while maintaining high performance.
