Advancements In Cell Thermal Runaway Detection

This presentation will cover the latest developments in early detection of cell thermal runaway for stationary and mobile applications, including available sensor technology, implementation strategies, and observations and concerns to be addressed once a cell undergoes thermal runaway. Presented by: Brian Engle, Business Development Manager, xEV & battery technologies, Amphenol

Robust Early Detection Of Battery Venting/Thermal Runaway

This presentation will discuss the mechanisms of battery thermal runaway. As well as a platform sensor approach to detect cell venting and early stage thermal runaway that is agnostic to battery electrochemistry and cell design, and robust for long duration. Presented by: Brian Engle, Amphenol xEV Business Development Manager

Amphenol’s new sensor tech detects thermal runaway

Amphenol Advanced Sensors’ new sensor technology platform, Robust Early Detection of Thermal Runaway (REDTR), is designed to detect battery cell faults that result in battery venting (see the recent Charged webinar on this topic). Stressed Li-ion batteries can undergo failure through a variety of factors. Failure can result in an internal reaction that generates heat… Read more »

Soteria licenses battery tech designed to eliminate thermal runaway

Soteria Battery Innovation Group has exclusively licensed and optioned a technology developed by the DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) designed to eliminate thermal runaway in Li-ion batteries due to mechanical damage. The technology complements Soteria’s existing battery safety technology. Soteria Battery Innovation Group is a technology development and licensing company that has formed a… Read more »

An airbag for battery packs: PyroPhobic says its unique thermoplastics will stop thermal runaway

Engineers have been searching for ways to mitigate the risk of fire with Li-ion batteries since the technology was first commercialized. Chemists are creating new cell formulations that are less prone to problems, electronics experts are designing fail-safe battery management systems, and mechanical engineers are building complex cooling and fire suppression systems. A common rule… Read more »

New separator membrane could enable faster charging, eliminate thermal runaway

Researchers from Ohio State University have designed a thin plastic membrane that could improve the charging speed of current batteries, and possibly enable a new type of battery as well. In a study published in the journal Energy & Environmental Science, assistant professor Vishnu-Baba Sundaresan and doctoral student Travis Hery argue that current battery designs… Read more »

Can phase change material mitigate thermal runaway in Li-ion packs?

(This article originally appeared in Charged Issue 6 – JAN/FEB 2013) AllCell Technologies’ new phase change thermal management material If you have spent time at any of the EV industry trade shows, you’ve probably heard the term thermal runaway. It refers to a chain reaction in which an increase in temperature causes further increases in temperature and uncontrollable… Read more »
