Thermal runaway is common in these types of batteries and is a situation where the battery overheats, which can lead to a chemical breakdown of the electrolyte and even result in a fire or explosion. This can be caused by overcharging, over-discharging, manufacturing defects, or physical damage to the battery.for lithium-ion battery development that may make it possible for next-generation electric cars and other gadgets to store more energy while having fewer battery fires.

The university's Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Professor Chunsheng Wang explained that although developing a plan to get around the disadvantages of all-solid-state batteries was time-consuming, he was very dedicated to developing these batteries as he believed they may eventually result in automobiles that are safer than even existing electric or internal combustion models.

“After we figured out that part, we proposed the idea to redesign the interlayers that would effectively suppress the lithium dendrite growth,” he said.
