The main safety advantages of solid-state batteries over lithium-ion batteries include:
- Reduced Fire Risk: Solid-state batteries replace the flammable liquid electrolyte with a non-flammable solid material, significantly reducing the risk of fires and explosions compared to lithium-ion batteries.
- Enhanced Thermal Stability: They can operate effectively across a wider temperature range, making thermal runaway and overheating less likely. This resilience helps maintain battery performance even in extreme conditions.
- Improved Robustness: Solid-state batteries are less prone to physical damage due to their solid design, reducing the likelihood of internal short circuits that can lead to dangerous malfunctions.
These improvements not only enhance the safety for users but also contribute to a safer environmental footprint by potentially reducing the carbon impact of electric vehicles.
