Scientists said the Causes of Burning Laptop Batteries

Researchers from Cambridge
University, England, believed that the metal fibers called dendrites, is one reason why the lithium
batteries in laptops, cell phones and other electronic devices on fire.
Laptop and cell phone batteries are designed to be rapidly replenished energy. But this, according to
the researchers, could lead dendrites formed in the carbon anode of the battery. The metal fibers become one of the trigger of electrical short circuit, which then causes the battery overheat and potentially burn.
Through this study, the researchers hope to understand better, how dendrites are formed, and efforts to stop its development. It is hoped
that information could help improve the security of electronic consumer goods lithium batteries.
"Fiber is also a lithium death is a significant obstacle for the commercialization of the latest
generation battery with higher capacity," said Professor Clare Grey, who led the study.
Grey mentioned, this problem must be resolved before it enters the era of litihium-ion battery before the battery is new and is used for a lot
more electronic devices, including those for transportation applications. "Our new method allows researchers to identify
conditions that cause the formation of dendrites and seek immediate efforts to address these
issues," he said.
