In recent years, smartphones have gained resources more and more interesting, making it capable of capturing images and videos of high resolution and to deliver processing equivalent to PCs and laptops — it is no wonder that some manufacturers even explore its usability as a device hybrid.
on the other hand, the batteries have not been able to keep up with this rapid evolution, making the chip manufacturers to develop charging technologies fast to compensate, often to overheating of the devices, and leaving them impossible to handle comfortably.
Another big problem related to the battery modules with respect to their explosions, a problem that has become frighteningly daily life with one of the biggest examples being the Galaxy Note 7 Samsung, who had two processes of recall (1, 2) to be discontinued.
To remedy this problem, researchers at Stanford University are developing a Li-ion battery is resistant to fire, with a kind of ‘fire extinguisher built in’.
She says with a fiber separator of plastic combined with phosphate triphenyl (retardant combustões) that holds the electrodes positive away from the negative.
To achieve a temperature of 150 degrees, the separator melts, releasing the phosphate and quenching any possibility of explosion in only 0.4 seconds.
more interesting is that the technology may seem, it will still take a long time until she will in fact be employed in batteries mass-produced — but we can’t deny that it would be a great way to ensure the safety of the users.
Another solution that avoids the overheating is being developed by LG, who promised to use it in your next top of the line, the G6, but in this case, the battery will have a pipe of copper able to “steal” its heat if it overheats.
