      Ground-Breaking Innovation to Advance Safety of Lithium-Ion Batteries

      Lithium-ion batteries safety is getting more and more vital. Taking care of the safety without compromising cell performance can make li-ion batteries significant.

      Lithium-Ion BatteriesNow Leclanché claims to ground-break tweaking safety of Lithium-ion batteries without compromising cell performance.

      “While the entire battery industry continues to place considerable R&D resources into the development of solid-state batteries, there’s a critical need to enhance the safety of today’s high energy density lithium-ion cell technology. Most efforts, until now, adversely impact the performance or longevity of cells. Leclanché has been able to develop a high-performance and high-energy-density lithium-ion cell exhibiting high safety characteristics without any negative impact on performance or longevity. As technological advancements continue to be developed, this is a crucial improvement in state-of-the-art cell technology, that does not require breakthrough technology that could still be several years away from commercial availability” said Pierre Blanc, chief technology officer, Leclanché.

      According to Anil Srivastava, CEO, Leclanché, “Our breakthrough should encourage manufacturers waiting on the side-lines for next-generation solid-state batteries to move forward with their advanced fleet vehicle designs today – safe lithium-ion batteries have arrived and Leclanché has them.”

      By adding a special fire-retardant additive to its electrolyte formula composition, Leclanché has lowered the risk of a thermal event by close to 80%.

      The achievement has been validated by Intertek Germany, a renowned third-party testing lab that conducted a series of industry-standard nail penetration tests on Leclanché’s 60Ah cell.

      Despite the test cells being punctured with the resulting internal short circuit, the cells exhibited a far lower risk of fire than the same cells without the flame retardant additives.

      Non-flammable lithium-ion cells have major implications for users in the railroad, truck and bus markets, which are accelerating their investment in hybrid and all-electric powered fleets and who are concerned about the risk of fire with passengers aboard. Lithium-ion battery recalls are an expensive problem, let alone the disruption it causes to operations.

      Leclanché battery cells are manufactured by the Company in its production facility located in Willstätt, Germany. The cells are made using Leclanché’s proprietary production process.

      Leclanché’s electrodes produced with the water-based manufacturing steps show a high stability towards the flame retardant additives contained in the new electrolyte, resulting in the maintenance of cell performance.
