Revolutionized Li-Ion Batteries Will Be Thermally Durable
Recently, Hitachi ltd. and Tohoku University’s Advanced Institute for Material Research (AIMR) group have developed a basic technology to improve thermal durability in lithium-ion batteries, as reported by CrazyEngineers.com. This basic technology reduces “the internal resistance of all-solid-state lithium-ion [batteries] using a complex hydride as a solid electrolyte,” the … [Read more...]
New Cooler Can Advance Heat Exchanger Technology
Recently, researchers at the Energy Department’s Sandia National Laboratories have developed an innovative new air-cooling technology called the Sandia Cooler. “The Sandia Cooler combines a fan and a finned metal heat sink into a single element called a heat-sink-impeller in which the fins of the heat sink rotate, improving heat transfer by a factor of ten,” reports … [Read more...]
Faulty Batteries and Lack of Cooling System Causes Hoverboards to Explode
Due to cheap, faulty batteries, hoverboards are catching fire and exploding. These self-balancing scooters run on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, and because consumers are looking for more affordable items, they are buying hoverboards with cheaper batteries installed. Professor of Materials Science & Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, Jay Whitacre, says, … [Read more...]
