The researchers in Daegu developed a lithium metal battery with a solid polymer electrolyte designed to self-extinguish itself in case of a fire, providing improved safety.
After a series of electric vehicle fires in South Korea, battery scientists are focused on developing lithium metal batteries with fire-resistant properties that can also prevent aggressive thermal runaway.
The new triple-layer solid polymer electrolyte allows rapid movement of charge-carrying ions and has shown impressive retention of battery capacity after extensive cycling.
This innovative battery technology could fundamentally enhance the safety levels of electric vehicles and pave the way for their wider acceptance and commercialization.
