Freudenberg Sealing’s new customized 3D thermal barriers for EV batteries
Thermal runaway—the ignition or explosion of a battery cell caused by a self-reinforcing heating process—can be caused by a range of internal and external factors, such as overcharging, excessive discharging, damage, or heating of the battery. Thermal runaway releases not only flames and hot gases but also electrically conductive particles. These in turn can cause… Read more »
Aspen Aerogels opens Advanced Thermal Barrier Center in US to optimize cell-to-cell barriers
Aspen Aerogels, an aerogel-based electrification company, has opened its engineering and rapid prototyping facilities in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Aspen’s 59,000-square-foot Advanced Thermal Barrier Center (ATBC) will create PyroThin cell-to-cell barriers to optimize battery pack safety and performance for the e-mobility and energy storage system sectors.

Don’t just delay cell-to-cell thermal propagation, stop it.
Sponsored by Aspen Aerogels Battery engineers face the daunting challenge of maximizing thermal runaway protection while optimizing vehicle performance. This task becomes even more critical as cell-to-pack and cell-to-chassis designs increase in popularity because manufacturers lose the added protection that can be built into a module-based design. Although newer chemistries such as LFP and solid-state… Read more »
