Improving battery safety with boron nitride nanotube separators

该项目旨在通过开发高温、稳定的隔膜来提高锂离子电池的安全性。在澳大利亚炎热的夏天使用电池是我们社会的一个主要安全问题。本项目将借助氮化硼纳米管开发一种新的安全电池技术，有效降低电池单元热失控的风险。预期结果将对当前电池技术的安全性和氮化硼纳米管在电池技术中的创新应用产生全球性影响。它将使行业处于澳大利亚储能发展所需的电池技术的前沿。

This project aims to improve the safety of lithium ion batteries by developing high –temperature, stable separators. The use of batteries in a hot Australian summer is a major safety issue for our society. This project will develop a new and safe battery technology with the help of boron nitride nanotubes to effectively reduce the risk of thermal runaway of battery cells. The expected outcomes will have a global impact on the safety of the current battery technology and the innovative application of boron nitride nanotubes in battery technology. It will position industry on the cutting edge of battery technology required for energy storage development in Australia.
