Toxic fluoride gas emissions from lithium-ion battery fires
Abstract: Lithium-ion battery fires generate intense heat and considerable amounts of gas and smoke. Although the emission of toxic gases can be a larger threat than the heat, the knowledge of such emissions is limited. This paper presents quantitative measurements of heat release and fluoride gas emissions during battery fires for seven different types of […]

Corvallis: H&V seeks greenway permit
A local manufacturer that wants to upgrade its pollution control equipment will have to wait at least two more weeks for a decision. The Corvallis Planning Commission continued a hearing on a request by Hollingsworth & Vose for a Willamette River Greenway conditional development permit for its glass fiber plant at 1115 SE Crystal Lake […]

Batteries based on fluoride shuttle
In search of new concepts to build batteries with high energy densities, electrochemical cells based on metal fluorides may be promising. Herein, we report the demonstration of secondary battery cells based on fluoride shuttle. In fluoride ion batteries, fluoride anion acts as charge transfer ion between a metal/metal fluoride pair where it will react with […]

Is Fluorine the Battery Chemistry of the Future?
If Contour Energy Systems is right, you might die well before your heart defibrillator gives out. Contour — founded by a blue-ribbon group of chemistry and battery scientists — has come up with a way to make high-power, long-lasting batteries with fluorine ions instead of lithium. The batteries will initially be targeted at the military […]
