Smart nail for Li-ion penetration tests

Green Car Congress

Jeff Dahn and colleagues at Dalhousie University have developed a “smart nail” for penetration testing on Li-ion batteries. Nail penetration is one of the common safety tests used to simulate some aspects of an internal short circuit event in a Li-ion cell. The project is detailed in the Journal of Power Sources.
