Electrolytes serve as the conductive medium for lithium ions within LIBs, but they also present safety challenges.

Flammability Concerns: Traditional electrolytes often contain volatile organic solvents prone to ignition. This flammability poses significant safety risks, especially under harsh conditions or mechanical stress.
Stability Challenges: LIBs operate under high voltages and temperatures, demanding robust electrolyte stability. Any degradation can lead to hazardous reactions, jeopardizing battery safety and lifespan.
Innovative Solutions: Our focus is on developing advanced electrolyte formulations and additives to improve thermal stability and mitigate flammability risks. Solid-state electrolytes show promise as safer alternatives, offering improved stability without sacrificing performance.
Separators:
Separators are critical components that prevent electrode contact and short circuits in LIBs.

Thermal Resilience: Effective thermal management is crucial to prevent thermal runaway events. Separators must withstand the heat generated during battery operation to maintain safety.
Ion Transport Optimization: Optimal separator design balances mechanical strength with high ionic conductivity. Efficient ion transport reduces the formation of hotspots, minimizing thermal hazards and enhancing safety.
Mechanical Integrity: Maintaining the mechanical integrity of separators is essential to prevent internal short circuits. They must endure assembly and operational stresses to ensure battery safety and performance.
