Researchers from the City University of Hong Kong and Southern University of Science and ...

Scientists in Germany have analyzed the thermal runaway behavior of sodium-ion batteries and lithium-ion batteries inside a 10-L reaction vessel. They have thermally abused 30 samples, each under a ...

A thermal runaway is an uncontrollable chain reaction in a lithium-ion battery cell that can lead to a fire hazard. In ideal conditions, the lithium-ion cells of a battery can dissipate the heat ...

Conventional lithium-ion batteries are known to present a fire risk, and can even cause explosions in certain cases. The widespread usage of lithium-ion batteries, in everything from electric vehicles ...

The sources and severity of EV battery fires. Design ideas that can reduce the hazards. Emerging technology that may help reduce such hazards in the future. Electric vehicles (EVs), most of them ...

Lion-X is the world’s first industrial extinguisher to safely terminate lithium-ion battery fires within seconds, while preventing the release of poisonous smoke, gases and thermal runaway. The ...

The Fire Safety Research Institute team partnered with researchers from UL Solutions to conduct experiments to quantify hazards that are posed in residences when the lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery of an ...

In fact, incidents involving lithium-ion batteries have become shockingly common worldwide. According to the United States government data, over 240 fires were reported across 64 waste and recycling ...

Lithium batteries power the majority of our EVs today but a once-discarded tech may be making a resurgence for one key ...

The rechargeable batteries that power common items like e-bikes, scooters and electric cars can pose a dangerous new threat to firefighters. They burn hotter and longer — and many fire departments may ...
