Lithium-based batteries currently dominate the electric vehicle (EV) market and are used in cars, buses, trucks, and boats. But now, there are a number of startups that try to break technological barriers, and Enovix is one of them. The company is committed to developing 3D Silicon Lithium-ion batteries with higher energy density and safety.
It has now announced its latest advancement called BrakeFlow technology, an intra-cell system that significantly increases tolerance against thermal runaway from internal shorts without compromising high energy density.
Enovix noted that its lithium-ion cell architecture is different from the conventional “jellyroll” Li-ion cell architecture, where energy density and safety can be in conflict. Its 3D cell architecture…
