New technology for safer batteries
Posted on Nov 17, 09 04:43 AM PDT
Engineers from the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute have managed to conjure up technology which makes room for a new “separator” which is resistant to external heat and impact. This bodes well for current battery technology, where high temperatures and weakness to impact have been cited as reasons for causing fires and explosions in battery cells. This new separator is created by mixing polyethylene, nano-alumina and flourine-based resin, hitting it with radiation after that in order to weed out older technologies' weaknesses. Initial tests point towards the new separator being successful as it can maintain its ability to function as an electric insulator even when the mercury hits 150 degrees Celsius and it undergoes considerable external impact.
