Advances in thin film technology could lead to safer and more powerful lithium based batteries, U.S company PATHION claims.
Tesla has unveiled its not so secret ‘secret’ new product – wall mounted lithium-ion energy storage devices for home use.
In a much hyped event, Elon Musk’s company unveiled two versions of its Tesla Powerwall, which offer load shifting, backup power and solar power storage.
Both the bigger, $3,500 10kW version for backup applications, and the $3,000 7kWh product designed for daily use applications, can be connected to PVs or to a grid.
What happens when lithium-ion batteries overheat and explode has been tracked inside and out for the first time by a UCL-led team using sophisticated 3D imaging.
Understanding how Li-ion batteries fail and potentially cause a dangerous chain reaction of events is important for improving their design to make them safer to use and transport, say the scientists behind the study.
