    Project Details

    Description

    Lithium-ion batteries overheating and exploding due to thermal runaway is a major pain point for lithium-ion batteries users who must have 100% safe batteries or face significant losses. LiOnSafe is a lithium-ion battery separator that would be used by battery manufacturers to prevent lithiumion batteries explosions and overheating by controlling the heat generated at the atomic level. LiOnSafe technology makes all lithium ion batteries safer, allowing for their integration in high stress environments that require 100% certainty (airplanes, electric vehicles, consumer electronics, military electronics). Additionally, all lithium-ion batteries need separators, so LiOnSafe does not add additional weight to the battery, unlike many other safety protections, and this allows for the removal of heavy contraptions that contain lithium-ion battery explosions. LiOnSafe technology can be easily integrated into every lithium-ion battery and is non-disruptive in respect from a battery manufacturer’s point of view. Basic battery separators are already employed in lithium-ion batteries, requiring no change in the battery manufacturing process.
