Researchers identify new class of non-flammable electrolytes for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Dominica Wong, lead author. Dominica H. In addition to being nonflammable, PFPE exhibits very interesting properties such as its ion transport. That makes this electrolyte stand apart from previous discoveries. When we discovered that we could dissolve lithium salt in this polymer, that’s when we decided to roll with it.
