Safer, longer-lasting, faster - Latent Heat Carbon solves the core problems of li-ion batteries

Li-ion batteries are sensitive to temperature. Too hot, too cold, or uncontrolled—in any of these scenarios, either the performance, the service life, or the safety of the system suffers. These challenges are not automotive problems. They are battery problems. Thermal runaway is the extreme case—and it is unacceptable in any application. During thermal runaway, Li-ion cells can release energy that spreads to neighboring cells within seconds. In vehicles, in energy storage systems for buildings, or in aviation systems, this can have fatal consequences. 

How Carbon Solves the Challenges

Schunk Carbon Technology uses graphite-based materials that do not actively dissipate heat within the battery, but rather manage it intelligently—passively, without external energy, and without moving parts. Latent Heat Carbon uses a phase-change material in combination with graphite to specifically absorb temperature spikes.
