An article by the Underwriters Laboratories electrochemical safety team — Research Director Judith Jeevarajan, Ph.D., research scientists Daniel Juarez Robles, Ph.D. and Tapesh Joshi, Ph.D., and Senior Project Specialist Kanarindhana Kathirvel — was recently featured in Emerging Technology News.
The article focuses on how lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells and modules undergo capacity degradation over time, and takes a deep-dive look into the safety of aged cells and modules as well as the role cell design can play in the degradation process.
