Addressing Li-ion Battery Storage Fires: Impacts & Root Causes

BESS developers are adopting various passive and active thermal management materials and technologies to improve the safety of their Li-ion BESS technologies. By understanding the root causes and impacts of BESS failure, battery storage players and regulators can target Li-ion BESS technology development with a greater targeted purpose, putting an emphasis on safety to reduce fire and explosion risk. A key pathway to address Li-ion BESS failures could also be with large-scale fire testing (LSFT).

The Need for Speed: EV Motors Breaking the 30,000rpm Barrier

2025 has seen a slew of announcements for high speed electric vehicle (EV) motors, with several exceeding 30,000rpm! What is behind this sudden need for speed? In this article, IDTechEx discusses the benefits, challenges, and solutions for taking this approach. With IDTechEx's latest report on Electric Motors for Electric Vehicles 2026-2036 predicting that over 140 million EV motors will be required in the year 2036, shifting technology trends could see new opportunities for motor manufacturers and their suppliers.

BYD's Disclosure May Signal a New Phase for Solid-State Batteries

BYD's recent disclosure via its FinDreams Battery website marks a visible inflection point for solid-state batteries (SSBs): the technology is moving from quiet development into structured demonstration timelines and supply-chain repositioning, with distinct materials choices that diverge from other leading OEM routes. This momentum, alongside public road tests and pilot-line progress across the US, Europe, and Asia, suggests SSBs are entering early deployment while broader automotive integration is targeted later this decade.

Korean Data Center Fire Heightens the Need for Improved Battery Safety

A data center fire has caused the shutdown of hundreds of online government services in South Korea, likely caused by a battery explosion. This incident is particularly severe, but there have been many like it through the battery energy storage system (BESS) industry, highlighting the need for further improvements to enhance battery safety.

Qingtao Energy Development

The foundation of QingTao Energy Development traces back to 2002 when a research team led by Professor Cewen Nan from Tsinghua University began exploring solid-state batteries. Early breakthroughs included the development of a lithium lanthanum titanate (LLTO) electrolyte in 2006 and a lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide (LLZO) electrolyte in 2010, both of which demonstrated excellent ionic conductivity and stability. In 2014, QingTao Energy Development was officially established, focusing on the industrialization of solid-state battery technologies.
