Stanford researchers build fire extinguisher into lithium-ion batteries

Stanford researchers have found a way to extinguish a fire in a lithium-ion battery. The researchers put triphenyl phosphate (TPP) inside a shell which melts at a temperature of 150C (302F) releasing the flame retardant TPP whivh extinguished fires in under 0.4 seconds in tests. ‘We have fabricated a novel smart electrospun separator with thermal-triggered ...
