'Fireproof' batteries create their own internal firewall when the heat is on

Years of research and development, precision manufacturing, extreme testing, constant monitoring, and dozens of failsafes all go into preventing thermal runaway in batteries. Now, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences are proposing a shockingly simple solution: batteries that simply cannot catch fire.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, EngineeringTags: Sodium battery, Batteries, Fire-Proof Coatings, Chinese Academy of Sciences
