🎥 SPOTLIGHT CLIP: 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐮𝐦-𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 power virtually every device we use. By 2031, the lithium-ion market is expected to increase to $135 billion, as the global drive to create 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 continues. 🔋 🔋 🔋 Unfortunately, there is a safety risk with lithium batteries. 🔥 Instances of cell phones suddenly exploding or an #ev catching fire are what scientists call “𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐮𝐧-𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲.” 🧪 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: In a lithium-ion #battery, a thin piece of plastic separates the two electrodes – the points where electricity moves between parts of the battery. 🚘 If the battery is damaged and the plastic layer fails, the electrodes can come into contact and cause the battery's liquid electrolyte to catch fire. 💡 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed innovative lithium battery safety #technologies that prevent the electrodes from touching if the #Battery is damaged during a fall or crash. Incorporating this tech – turning liquid to solid - requires only minor adjustments to the conventional battery #manufacturing process. In 2022, ORNL licensed the collection of five patented technologies, called 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐞𝐬, or SAFIRE, to battery startup Safire Technology Group. We’re spotlighting Safire Technology Group, Inc., which has plans to commercialize its lithium battery safety #technology, with an emphasis on applications in electric vehicles, #drones, and #military defense. The company says the tech is much better than the traditional safety measures of lithium-ion batteries, which is to shield the battery with heavy, costly casing.

🗞 Electronic News! 🗞 Mercedes-Benz has recently inaugurated a cutting-edge competence centre dedicated to battery cells and new manufacturing processes with the aim of reducing battery costs by up to 30%. The eCampus facility, located in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim, is a significant addition to the company's development activities in battery technology, forming part of the substantial €14 billion investment Mercedes-Benz is making this year in research and development across its plants. The Industrial Cell Lab within the eCampus covers the entire spectrum of product and process chain related to cell development and production. This setup enables the cultivation of expertise for cost-effective manufacturing processes. Spanning an impressive 10,000 square meters, the eCampus encompasses the full scope of battery and cell technology, ranging from the development and assessment of new cell chemistries to industrial-scale cell production, as well as the testing and certification of complete battery units. #electricalengineering #electronics #embedded #embeddedsystems #electrical #computerchips Follow us on LinkedIn to get daily news: HardwareBee - Electronic News and Vendor Directory

5️⃣ reasons why cleanrooms are indispensable to the production of microchips. Cleanrooms are the unsung heroes of the semiconductor industry. They're not just about maintaining an impeccably clean workspace; they're critical to ensuring the performance, reliability, and longevity of the electronic devices we rely on. 1️⃣ Particle Control The manufacturing of semiconductors involves a series of precise steps, such as photolithography, etching, and deposition. Any stray particle can disrupt these processes, leading to defects in the final product. Cleanrooms control the number and size of particles in the air, significantly reducing the likelihood of defects. 2️⃣ Contamination Prevention Even the tiniest amounts of contaminants like dust, oils, bacteria and other microscopic debris can wreak havoc on semiconductor fabrication. Cleanrooms go to great lengths to eliminate such contaminants, using advanced filtration systems and instrumentation, specialised clothing (like cleanroom suits), and strict operating protocols to maintain cleanliness. 3️⃣ Consistent Quality In semiconductor manufacturing, consistency is vital given the number of steps and duration of the manufacturing process. Cleanrooms provide a very stable environment where temperature, humidity, static dissipation and room pressure are tightly controlled. Humidity, for instance, must be kept at a level to minimise bacterial growth and prevent contamination of the microchip, while still remaining comfortable for the operator. This consistency ensures that each chip meets the same high standards, reducing variations in performance and quality. 4️⃣ Higher Yields Yields refer to the percentage of usable chips produced from a batch of wafers. Cleanrooms are pivotal in optimising yields by minimising defects and ensuring that more manufactured chips meet the required specifications. This reduces scrap wafers, lowers production costs and maintains profit. 5️⃣ Advanced Research and Development Cleanrooms enable researchers and engineers to experiment with new materials, processes, and technologies without fearing contamination. This freedom to innovate has led to groundbreaking advancements in semiconductor technology. #cleanroom #cleanroomdesign #cleanroomconstruction #processengineering #processengineers
