How does Nanotechnology address safety concerns in lithium-ion batteries?
Safety is a critical concern for lithium-ion batteries, primarily due to the risk of overheating and potential thermal runaway. Nanotechnology helps mitigate these risks by using nanostructured materials that enhance thermal management. For example, ceramic nanoparticles can be incorporated into battery separators to improve thermal stability and prevent short circuits. Additionally, nanocoatings on electrode materials can help in reducing dendrite formation, which is a common cause of battery failure.
