LG Chem has developed a new material that could eliminate the risk of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries.

The material is a thin, temperature-responsive material called Safety Reinforced Layer ( SRL ) It’s incredibly thin, measuring just 1 micrometer about one hundredth the thickness of a human hair.

SRL allows electricity to flow normally unless the battery gets too hot, in which case it acts like a fuse to stop it.
