View moreTransport: Batteries pose risks like fire, explosion, and chemical leaks due to physical damage, improper packaging, or exposure to extreme conditions during transport. Disposal and Recycling: Improper disposal of damaged or spent batteries can lead to fires in recycling plants or waste facilities.
Other battery challenges that face the industry are issues surrounding thermal management, aging and degradation, risk to asset and personal safety through unintentional accidents, ethical material, and supply chain management, and ultimately the control of and methods for battery recycling and disposal.
However, despite the glow of opportunity, it is important that the safety risks posed by batteries are effectively managed. Battery power has been around for a long time. The risks inherent in the production, storage, use and disposal of batteries are not new.
The “memory effect,” which occurs immediately a battery is partially charged and discharged, degrading its capacity, is the fundamental problem with Ni-Cd batteries. Furthermore, the cadmium in the battery makes it environmentally unfriendly. Li-ion and Ni-MH batteries were invented in 1990.
Indeed, since the commercialization of lithium-ion battery technology in 1991 7, 8, several high-profile safety events (Fig. 1a) have occurred in sectors such as consumer electronics, electric micromobility, EVs, aviation, and medical devices 9, 10. One infamous EV safety case required a USD $1.9B fleetwide recall 11, 12.
