Scientists develop fire-proof lithium battery
The batteries use a water-salt solution as their electrolyte, removing the risks carried by some non-aqueous commercial models.
– In the past, if you wanted high energy, you would choose a non-aqueous lithium-ion battery, but you would have to compromise on safety. If you preferred safety, you could use an aqueous battery such as nickel/metal hydride, but you would have to settle for lower energy – said co-author Kang Xu, from the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL).
– Now, we are showing that you can simultaneously have access to both high energy and high safety – he added.
Dr Xu said the interphase chemistry needs to be perfected before it can be commercialized. But with enough funding, the four-volt chemistry could be ready for commercialization in about five years, he said, as reported by BBC.
