Adding a flame-retardant to select elements of lithium ion batteries many prevent fires, according to researchers at Stanford University. The researchers figured out how to create a nonwoven electrospun separator out of triphenyl phosphate and coated it with a heat-activated polymer. The separator sits between the anode and cathode within batteries. The thermal-triggered coating would […]
Toyota Motor Corp. will spend $50 million over five years to set up joint research centers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University, the Japanese automaker said today. To manage its own artificial intelligence research, Toyota has also hired a robotics expert from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a Pentagon R&D group […]
Scientists at Stanford University believe they have solved one of the major issues facing lithium battery technology. The researchers contend a pure lithium battery is best. “Of all the materials that one might use in an anode, lithium has the greatest potential. Some call it the Holy Grail,” said Stanford Professor Yi Cui. “It is […]
