Nanodiamond Powder Can Prevent Short Circuits And Fires in Lithium Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries which are used widely in mobile devices (e.g. mobile phones) have the longest-lasting batteries among commercial batteries. But they also have a problem with short circuits in mobile devices that have caused fires and recent disasters. Drexel University’s researchers developed a recipe that makes electrolyte (a vital component in most batteries) into protective …
