Review on flame retarding of batteries

Review on flame retarding of batteries

Fire and thermal runaway risks of lithium ion batteries can be reduced by using PIN FRs in separators, electrolyte, cathode. A review of materials for improving thermal stability and safety of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) provides information and references on...
PIN FRs for a safer electric grid

PIN FRs for a safer electric grid

1 000 wildfires/year are ignited by electricity distribution cables in the US. PIN flame retardant cable insulation can cut risk, reduce energy losses and enable underground transmission infrastructure, which offers aesthetic benefits and avoids damage and outages in...
