LG Chem has developed a groundbreaking temperature-sensitive safety layer in EV batteries that serves as a 'fuse' to block electricity flow during early overheating stages, preventing thermal runaway.
This development comes in light of recent panic in South Korea regarding EV safety, spurred by incidents such as the catastrophic fire of a Mercedes EQE in an underground garage.
While EVs are statistically less likely to catch fire compared to gas-powered cars, the unique challenges posed during EV fires prompt urgent solutions to enhance safety.
The collaboration between LG Chem and the Pohang University of Battery Technology led to innovations aimed at suppressing thermal runaway, crucial for preventing devastating battery incidents.
