Description:

What are the mechanisms and consequences of mechanical and thermal disruption of electrochemical processes in batteries and capacitors, and how do these changes affect workplace safety? What preventive and protective measures can be proposed to minimize these risks in the workplace?

The main objective of the project is to comprehensively investigate and quantify the consequences of mechanical and thermal disruption of electrochemical processes in batteries and capacitors, with a particular focus on their chemical stability, potential release of toxic substances, and related risks to occupational safety and health.
