NIST Develops Machine Learning Tool to Detect Lithium-Ion Battery Fires in Recycling Plants

Post Views: 385 Lithium-Ion Battery Fires Early Detection of Lithium-Ion Battery Fires Using Sound Researchers at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed an innovative technique to detect the early signs of lithium-ion battery fires, a significant safety breakthrough for recycling facilities. The team, led by Wai Cheong “Andy” Tam and Anthony Putorti, identified a unique sound produced when a lithium-ion battery’s safety valve breaks just before it ignites.   A Dangerous but Invisible Threat in Recycling Lithium-ion batteries, commonly fo...
