Built-in smart sensors can prevent lithium-ion battery fires before they start

New smart sensors can help detect dangerous internal failures in lithium-ion batteries before they escalate into fires or explosions, say researchers from the University of Surrey. Lithium-ion batteries are at the heart of the global shift to electric vehicles and renewable energy—but when they fail, the results can be devastating.

A 21st Century Threat: Battery Fire Cyber Attacks. Remotely-controlled battery fires.

I will keep this essay brief, and to the point. Readers of my novel Expatriates and Liberators will recall how I fictionally described the use of both time-delayed and remotely-controlled incendiaries and explosives. I have recently been considering the potential threat posed by the inclusion of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries in consumer products that have Internet connections. As the Internet of Things (IoT) proliferates, I believe that the…

Smart sensors could stop battery fires before they start

A team of researchers from the University of Surrey has developed a new type of smart sensor that could prevent fires in lithium-ion batteries before they even begin. These batteries are widely used in electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, airplanes, and other modern technologies—but when they fail, they can catch fire or explode, causing serious […] The post Smart sensors could stop battery fires before they start appeared first on Knowr…
