Why battery fires in mobile phones and laptops

Why battery fires in mobile phones and laptopsBattery firing in mobile phones and laptops has become a very serious issue these days. Cases of injury from battery fire are also increasing day by day. This has become a nightmare for the manufacturers. Scientists were trying to find out the reason why lithium ion batteries catch fire. At last they found reason for this vital issue.

When the batteries got charged, it encourages the metal fiber to grow. These fibers are called dendrites. These dendrites can cause short circuit in the whole battery. Nuclear Resonance Spectroscopy is used to observe how these dendrites grow. This issue must be solved before developing another advance lithium ion battery.

When batteries are rapidly charged, dendrites are generated on the anodes. Then Dendrites can lead the battery to over charge rapidly and catch fire due to short circuit. These lithium fibers are considered as a main obstacle to the business growth of high power batteries. Lithium battery is said to be very important for improvement on the next creation of electric cars.

Now that one can keep an eye on the dendrite construction inside batteries, why they are generated and in which circumstance can be found out as well.
