PolyJoule releases video of third-gen self-extinguishing battery

Why It Matters for ITAD

New technologies may create opportunities or challenges for equipment processing.

PolyJoule, an MIT spinout developing conductive polymer batteries, has unveiled a third-generation battery chemistry designed to self-extinguish under extreme thermal conditions for stationary energy storage applications. The Boston-based company said the new large-format prismatic cell combines a proprietary conductive polymer cathode with a liquid salt electrolyte and is aimed at commercial, industrial and residential battery…
