Calculating the Density of Electrolyte Formulations | QuantistryLab Multiscale Simulations

September 26, 2024

Lithium-ion batteries and accumulators are valued for their ability to store large amounts of energy in a small volume, making them the battery of choice for multiple applications ranging from electric vehicles to laptops and smartphones among many others.  

As demand for better-performing battery technology grows, safety remains a key factor to consider when developing new battery materials. Currently, commercial-grade lithium-ion batteries carry the risk of swelling and exploding when the battery is exposed to a rapid increase in temperature. This phenomenon, called thermal runaway, occurs when the battery’s electrolyte comes into contact with oxygen, which can be caused by damage to the battery cell, exposure to direct sunlight or manufacturing defects.
