How to test the safety & the performance of new types of batteries?
Date: - Categories: Product & Brand / Applications & Technologies
Developing alternative battery technologies
New batteries and new battery components are being developed and tested all over the world, to push forward the capacities of the current technologies.
Looking for more abundant, eco-friendly and accessible raw materials, or to lower manufacturing costs may be your daily challenge.
Ensuring the safety of those batteries
Modern batteries push the limit of energy density far beyond what was possible only a few years ago. But with energy density comes the challenge of thermal stability.
This is where calorimetry comes in, including isothermal calorimetry.
The impact of calorimetry on battery safety
The various calorimetry techniques can be used for different measurements:
- Isothermal calorimetry can measure battery heat release during charge and discharge cycles,
- Temperature scanning calorimetry can measure battery heat capacity (i.e. accumulation) or temperature of decomposition of battery components.
While heat measurements are used to predict the increase in battery temperature during use or charging, the decomposition temperatures of the battery components help determine if these components can withstand this temperature rise without triggering a thermal runaway.
A combination of calorimetry techniques as SETARAM offers helps at preserving the batteries’ integrity and performance and ensuring users safety.
