Startup Blue Current seeking to commercialize non-flammable fluorinated electrolytes for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Li/LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 cells made with this electrolyte showed good performance in galvanostatic cycling, confirming the electrolyte’s potential as rechargeable lithium batteries with enhanced safety and longevity. There is no nonflammable lithium battery on the market today, though others are attempting to make one. Dominica H.
