Description
Ziqi Huang and co-authors published this study in 2026. It builds a safer solid filling for lithium metal batteries. Such batteries pack great energy, but stray crystal growth and flammable fillings risk fire. Solid fillings resist burning themselves, yet they cannot stop a blaze once runaway heat starts. The team's filling carries tiny capsules with a dual job. Heat bursts the capsules open.
Out spills a fire-quenching agent that smothers flames. The capsule shells then char into a layer that slows heat and gas flow. The base material still conducts ions well at room temperature and stays stable to 4.6 volts. Test pouch cells resisted ignition under heat abuse. The authors offer built-in fire suppression as a design path for safer high-energy batteries.
