China’s new sodium battery forms internal firewall to stop fires, survives 572°F test
SMRTR summary
Chinese researchers developed a sodium battery with a revolutionary self-protecting electrolyte that forms an internal firewall when temperatures exceed 302°F, completely preventing dangerous thermal runaway that causes fires and explosions. The breakthrough battery survived extreme testing at 572°F and maintains competitive performance while operating safely from -40°F to 140°F.
