About Photovoltaic Energy StorageLithium-ion batteries contain a ton of Li-ion cells. Each of these cells has a critical temperature---think of it as a boiling point. When the critical temperature of a cell is reached (due to external heat, overcharging, damage, or poor manufacturing), it enters an exothermic breakdown.
About Photovoltaic Energy StorageLithium-based batteries are extremely powerful, and potentially highly explosive. When they are recharged repeatedly, something called dendrites may form and can trigger a short circuit, causing the battery to burst into flames. Chemists at Ulm University have now developed a model that explains how and why certain metals form …
