Parker Chomerics thermal gap pad offers low oil bleed

The Chomerics division of Parker Hannifin Corporation has introduced the THERM-A-GAP PAD 80LO, a high-performance thermal gap pad with low oil-bleed and migration. The RoHS-compliant pad features a high-tack surface that reduces contact resistance, an operating temperature of -50 C to 200 C and a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. It is also electrically isolating.

Temperature-responsive material performs well against thermal runaway

LG Chem has developed a temperature-responsive material that can suppress thermal runaway and be manufactured in a high-volume, roll-to-roll process, writes Nick Flaherty. The Safety Reinforced Layer (SRL) is a composite that can be as thin as 1 μm. It is placed inside a battery cell between the cathode layer and the current collector, with the aluminium foil acting as the electron pathway.

Thermal runaway prevention

Peter Donaldson speaks to experts who are working on cell design and chemistry to avoid thermal runaway Protection from thermal runaway in an electric vehicle (EV) battery requires a holistic solution that affects every aspect of the pack’s design and operation. The consensus seems to be that protection options are limited to prevention and mitigation rather than stopping a runaway once it has started.
