Karlsruhe Institute of Technology: Lithium-ion batteries: innovative protective textile brings fires under control
Share From smartphones to electric vehicles – lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous. Less well known are the dangers posed by a fire in such energy storage systems. The resulting smoke gases, for example, are acutely hazardous to health, especially hydrofluoric acid. A protective textile developed by the Research Center for Fire Protection Technology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) together with Planex GmbH in Ludwigshafen opens up new options for fire fighting .
