What makes lithium ion batteries dangerous? Part 2

What are the hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries, and how can these turn into safety risks? Last week Risk Bites looked at the bottom-line risk challenges of lithium-ion batteries. This week we take a closer look at the technology behind the batteries used in cell phones, laptops and the

How does a solid state battery work?

Unlike a lithium-ion battery, the solid state battery is designed to function without a liquid electrolyte. Powerful and fireproof, it could become the car battery of the future. Author: 3Sat/Nano/Mia Media Leipzig/Reinhart Brüning/Stefan Hoge/Jochen Schmidt Translation and dubbing: alugha Click

How does a lithium-ion battery work?

A lithium-ion battery is made up of a cathode, the positive pole, and an anode, the negative pole. The separating layer in the middle prevents a short from occurring. Author: 3Sat/Nano/Mia Media Leipzig/Reinhart Brüning/Stefan Hoge/Jochen Schmidt Translation and dubbing: alugha Click here to see

How does a lithium-sulfur battery work?

In a lithium-sulfur battery, the cathode is made of carbon and sulfur, and the anode is made of lithium metal. During operation, the lithium ions migrate to the cathode and react with the sulfur. Author: 3sat/nano/Mia Media Leipzig/Reinhart Brüning/Stefan Hoge/Jochen Schmidt Translation and dubb

Invention of the periodic table

In the mid-19th century, the nature of the elements was still largely unknown. In 1869, Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev develops the periodic table, which is still valid today with slight adjustments. Authors: ZDF/Terra X/T. Schrader/J. Koester/F. Steinhardt/Caligari/Moods in Pictures/Maximilian

Electric eel works like a battery

The electric eel generates electricity through electrical organs. Thousands of "battery" cells are connected in rows inside them. This allows it to generate voltages of several hundred volts. The electric eel is like a living battery. Author: ZDF/Terra X+/Bilderfest/Tillman Graach/Sabine Fink/Benja

Mauvein: The Invention of the First Synthetic Dye

In the mid-19th century, chemical assistant Henry Perkin was looking for an synthetic substitute for an antimalarial drug. But instead of quinine, he produces the first synthetic dye: mauveine. An accidental product! Authors: ZDF/Terra X/T. Schrader/J. Koester/F. Steinhardt/Moods in Pictures/Maximi
