Chinese Team Achieves Zero Thermal Runaway Sodium Battery, Safer Alternative to Lithium-Ion Packs

Thermal runaway is considered the biggest safety hazard for electric vehicle (EV) lithium-ion batteries. Thus, the latest achievement by a Chinese academic in developing a sodium-ion battery that eliminates thermal runaway could have a huge safety impact on EVs moving forward. Most would have heard of the term ‘thermal runaway’ but it is important to
