6 FAQs about [Fire safety in graphene battery production]
Are graphene batteries the future of power storage?
Long story short, Koyfman believes that global power storage capacity could see a “100-fold increase over the next 20 years,” and he points to graphene batteries as the solution because these don’t require any lithium, nickel, cobalt, or copper. In other words, graphene batteries don’t require raw materials we could run out of.
Can graphene be used to make batteries?
Graphene has received a lot of interest for its use in batteries, and it is now an area of intense research and development. Advances with graphene and graphene oxide batteries are being made at both an academic and commercial level.
What is the safest way to prevent battery fires?
The safest solution is to prevent battery fires from occurring in the first place, eliminating the assumed need for harmful chemistries in enclosures.
What happens if you use a flame retardant in a battery?
Chemical release leading to environmental and health harm can occur at all life cycle stages. Batteries may catch fire at most stages, where flame retardant use results in additional toxic emissions. The production of chemical flame retardants and their incorporation into electronic devices and other products often results in occupational exposure.
What should research and development teams do if a battery goes bad?
Research and development teams should prioritize innovative strategies that do not rely on harmful flame retardant chemicals, such as improved battery management systems, lightweight metal battery enclosures, solid-state batteries, and fail-safes to stop energy flow and alert product users when excessive temperatures or thermal runaway is detected.
Are plastic battery enclosures flammable?
Standards incorporating requirements for lithium-ion battery material flammability are being quickly adopted by various authorities (from local to international) and often require that plastic battery enclosures resist a small open flame for a short period of time.
