Researchers Make Cellphone Batteries That Are Not Easy to Explode

Smartphone users are currently increasing. Intense smartphone usage can affect battery power. The more often you use your cellphone, the more often you charge.

Many instances of cellphone explosions caused by batteries, as happened on the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Batteries cause several explosions, and force the withdrawal of cellphones from the market.

Launching the Phone Arena on Thursday (08/23/2018), Gabriel Veith, Ph.D, one of the researchers who worked on batteries, said that the goal was to make lithium-ion batteries that would continue to function, even when the battery was damaged in a collision. . This causes some electrolytes in the cell to harden.

This technology is expected to be a solution to the problems experienced by cellphone batteries, so the device can be safer.

 Some researchers have come up with versions of lithium-ion batteries that they claim will not burn. The typical lithium-ion cell has two electrodes separated by a thin piece of plastic.

If the plastic fails for some reason, and the two electrodes come into contact, the electrolyte fluid in the cell can burn. Mixing silica additives into the electrolyte allows the liquid to become hard when hit by collision, thus preventing the electrodes from touching. This eliminates the possibility of a battery burning.

Researchers see this technology originally used for Drone batteries. Researchers openly discussed their technology at the 256th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society.
