“As airlines are not yet conversant with new-generation, solid-state batteries, Nuvvon needed to follow the same stringent testing requirements as lithium-ion prototype cells to be deemed safe for air travel,” says Jonathan Lex, Nuvvon’s chief operating officer.
Nuvvon solves lithium battery challenges
Quality Digest does not charge readers for its content. We believe that industry news is important for you to do your job, and Quality Digest supports businesses of all types.
Nuvvon solid polymer electrolytes address the challenges of liquid electrolytes used in “semisolid” or traditional lithium-ion batteries that can explode when overheated or overcharged. Lithium-ion batteries have issues with thermal runaway associated with chemical reactions, smoke, fire, and explosions. Their liquid composition can burn out gas and cause other problems.

Nuvvon’s solid polymer electrolytes enable the development of highly stable and safe batteries. Void of ionic liquids associated with liquid electrolytes, the polymer electrolytes are completely dry, so they’re not at risk of catching fire or exploding under high temperature or pressure. They also possess a large thermal window and no thermal runaway.

(Nuvvon: Bordentown, NJ) — Solid-state polymer electrolytes developed by Nuvvon as a safe alternative to liquid electrolytes in the manufacture of nonflammable batteries are UL-certified to DOT standard SP20798. This allows Nuvvon prototype cells to be approved as safe for global air shipment. To gain certification, Nuvvon solid-state pouch cells passed independent abuse testing by UL that included overcharge and over-discharge cycling.
