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

The invention of the battery

By layering copper disks, cardboard dipped in acid and zinc disks, physicist Alessandro Volta invented the so-called "voltaic pile," the world's first battery. Author: ZDF/scobel/Claus Ast/Tamara Skalski/Maximilian Mohr Translation and dubbing: alugha Click here to see more videos: https://alugha

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

Lithium-ion batteries: How do they work?

Please view our new version of this video here: https://youtu.be/VXy-IoRykWk Smartphone, cordless screwdriver, laptops and defibrillators: Everyone knows the lithium-ion battery - or the Li-Ion Battery - for energy storage in a variety of modern appliances. A great future for the battery is predict

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

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

How does inductive charging work?

Current from the socket generates a magnetic field. This in turn induces current. As a result, the battery (in a smartphone, for example) can be charged via this magnetic field. This technology originated in the early 19th century. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Sabine Kemper/Martin Schaaf/Maximilian Mohr Tr
