The technology controls the cell at the individual electrode level, preventing dendrites from propagating and enabling early fault detection. Impervio can prevent a thermal runaway by monitoring the cell’s electrochemistry and enabling a failsafe in the event of a potential short, according to the company.
Naoki Ota, CEO and President of 24M Technologies, stated that the growing concerns around battery fire safety must be addressed to ensure widespread adoption of EVs and a more sustainable energy future.
