Sepion Advances EV Battery Safety with AI-Driven Non-Flammable Electrolyte.
Sepion Technologies, a leading developer of nanoengineered separator coatings and liquid electrolytes for faster charging, lower-cost, and energy-dense lithium-ion and lithium-metal batteries, has deployed its proprietary materials discovery platform powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) in developing a non-flammable liquid electrolyte that can reduce the risk and severity of fires in electric vehicle (EV) batteries.
Sepion’s researchers subjected the newly discovered liquid electrolyte to flammability testing against standard commercial lithium-ion battery electrolytes, demonstrating its efficacy and safety features with a flash point exceeding 70°C and self-extinguishing time (SET) that is 25 times better than commercial lithium-ion battery electrolytes.
