In general, the situation with the battery for Galaxy Note 7 underlined carelessness battery manufacturers, which have ceased to pay attention to the explosion of lithium-ion batteries, and began to build batteries capacity . Radically solve the problem of protection of lithium-ion batteries against fire promise a young American company Forge Nano. Company Forge Nano has its roots in South Carolina State University. Certain developments, which will be discussed below, led to the development of technology for the reliable prevention of fire electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries. technology developers have created a company PneumatiCoat Technologies and recently rebranded, taking the new name of Forge Nano.
Technology Forge Nano spray a layer of special nanoparticles to the surface of the electrodes, plates and catalyst lithium-ion batteries (nano-pattern atomic layer deposition, ALD). The technology has been praised by the national research centers in the US and supported, including government grants. Spray prevents "parasitic" chemical reaction on the electrode surface at the time of heavy load on the battery when the electrolyte reactions are particularly strong, and protects from inflammation electrolyte.
At the moment, the Nano Forge company is moving to a new factory complex. Prior to that, it could produce up to 30 tons of a nanostructured material per year. The new capacity will produce up to 300 tons of material in the ADL-year. The company hinted that the batteries for smartphones Samsung Galaxy Note 8 may well be protected by new technologies with nanoparticles coated.
