Thin-film technology to eliminate risk of lithium battery fire / La tecnologia a film sottile per eliminare il rischio di incendio della batteria al litio. Segnalato dal Dott. Giuseppe Cotellessa / Reported by Dr. Joseph Cotellessa Problems with lithium ion cell fires grounded Boeing’s 787 fleet last year. A relatively simple fix could be the key to developing solid-state lithium-ion batteries, without the flammability problem of conventional Li-ion cells The propensity for lithium-ion batteries to catch fire has had major connotations in recent years, temporarily grounding Boeing’s fleet of 787 Dreamliners in 2015 and potentially spoiling Samsung’s reputation for making high-quality consumer electronics after problems with fires in its Galaxy Note tablets. The problem is caused by the liquid electrolyte used in most cells, which is flammable, especially at high temperatures. One way to get around this is to use a solid-state battery; but attempts to de
