CRITT M2A is proud to have contributed to a scientific publication in collaboration with UMET – ISP and CREPIM – Material & Fire Test Expert, as part of the RECYBAT project, co-funded by the European Union through the Just Transition Fund.
This study investigates the effects of an external short circuit, carried out on our abuse testing platform, on 21700 cylindrical cells (Samsung 53G).
Using advanced analytical techniques (X-ray tomography, X-ray diffraction, SEM-EDX), the researchers identified:
-
deformation of the jelly roll,
-
crack formation on the electrodes,
-
changes in the crystalline structure of active materials,
-
and damage to the separator, compromising both the safety and performance of the cell.
This scientific work highlights the value of combined expertise to better understand short-circuit effects and improve battery safety.
