Safety of Lithium-ion batteries

As the world moves towards cleaner energy and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels batteries have become an important tool for storing power. However as the demand for more powerful batteries grows so does the need for safer battery technology. New types of batteries are being developed to increase their capacity and improve their performance. But as promising as these new technologies are there are still concerns around their safety especially when it comes to large-scale deployment. This book addresses these concerns and provides an overview of the latest developments in battery safety. It highlights the current challenges and explores the most advanced safety features that can be incorporated to improve battery safety for both lithium-ion and other types of batteries. The book is a valuable resource for engineers and experts in the field of batteries and fuel cells from universities and research institutions to professionals in a variety of industries.
