Lithium-ion Solutions: Testing and Research

Lithium-ion batteries come with trade-offs. Their small size and high energy density make them a valuable power source, but that comes with the risk of their potentially volatile chemistry. Because of this, it's necessary for safety scientists to test and understand how these batteries might fail. What does this mean? Ask Dr. Judy Jeevarajan, Research Director for Electrochemical Safety at Underwriters Laboratories.
