Putting the brakes on lithium-ion batteries to prevent fires
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are used to power everything from wise watches to electrical vehicles, thanks to the large amounts of power they can save in small spaces. When overheated, nevertheless, they're prone to catching fire and even taking off. Yet recent study published in Nano Letters uses a possible solution with a new innovation that can swiftly put the brakes on a Li-ion battery, shutting it down when it obtains also warm.
