Nuvvon, a leader in next-generation battery materials, has announced a significant milestone. Nuvvon's proprietary polymer electrolyte technology has successfully passed a series of rigorous nail penetration tests with both Graphite-NMC811 and Lithium-NMC9. The nail tests create a short circuit inside the cell to determine if the battery catches fire or explodes. In both sets of tests, which were conducted independently at The University of Texas at Austin (UTA), traditional 1Ah cells of commercial grade were built with either Nuvvon SPE (solid polymer electrolyte) or conventional liquid electrolyte. In testing, the cell containing the liquid electrolyte exploded instantly, whereas neither of …
