Li-ion batteries can present major hazards, with the notion of safety based on narrow criteria. A meta-analysis of thermal runaway gas emissions by Sheffield researchers, published in the Journal of Energy Storage improves understanding and highlights the need for a broader analysis of risks.
A team from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, led by Professor Sol Brown, conducted a detailed meta-analysis of 60 papers in order to understand more about the gases released by lithium-ion…
