Installing “Spillway” for Lithium-ion Batteries to Effectively Prevent Uncontrollable Chain Reactions

published: 2020-04-11 18:30
In the midst of pondering on how to enhance the safety of lithium-ion batteries, and reduce the possibility of explosion caused by battery overheating, a large number of scientists must first resolve the challenging issue of “dendrites” that are formed during charge and discharge of batteries, for which University of California, San Diego (UCSD), has effectively prevented uncontrollable reactions through the concept of “spillway”. ...  more

Is Human Health Threatened by Solar Panels in Landfills? IEA Research: No

published: 2020-04-10 18:30
The optimal method in disposing discarded solar panels is obviously recycling and reusing, which further elevates reuse technology and enhances the values of recycled products, though old solar panels are mostly accumulated in storage or are buried in landfills before relevant mechanisms are established. Is human health threatened by the pollutants from these discarded solar panels? The answer is no, according to the research conducted by the International Energy Agency (IEA). ...  more
