LG Chem (KRX:051910) developed a temperature-responsive safety reinforced layer (SRL) that aims to suppress thermal runaway in batteries, the chemicals manufacturer said earlier this week.
The SRL was created in collaboration with POSTECH and was verified by LG Energy Solution (KRX:373220), the company said in the release. The SRL is capable of cutting off electricity during early overheating by altering its electrical resistance. This feature will improve battery safety in high-temperature conditions, the release said.
