new materials helps lithium-ion battery without explosion
Most of everyday consumer electronics products are using lithium-ion battery-powered, such as mobile phones, MP3, cameras and notebook computers. Before 2007, lithium-ion battery adapter for laptopgives a good impression of stability. But in the past few years, there have lithium-ion batteries explode enable the industry to re-examine their security problems and trying to find a new power supply materials.
Foreign media reported that Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute recently found a new solution is still powered by lithium-ion batteries, but not an explosion. It is reported that Alex Pang, led by the research team developed a process known as “Stoba” The new material, can be used in lithium-ion battery between the positive and negative.

When the lithium-ion batteries as the status of an internal short occurs, the internal temperature will quickly rise to 500 degrees, resulting in lithium-ion batteries overheating or explosion, whole electronics which Stoba new material you can when the temperature reaches 130 degrees to form a protective film isolation layer, This is to avoid further enhance the stability, in order to avoid an explosion, hence the addition Stoba materials, batteries, also known as “never exploded battery.”
However, the current problems is the inclusion of Stoba will raise the cost of lithium-ion battery, about 2% -3%, the promotion will encounter resistance. Alex Pang said that the new lithium-ion batteries in notebook computers and cell phones in the first use of the first quarter of 2010 is expected to be seen.
