South 8 Technologies

South 8 Technologies, Inc. has developed a novel Liquefied Gas Electrolyte (LiGas™) chemistry for next-generation lithium batteries. In contrast to conventional liquid electrolytes which are a catalyst for thermal runaway, the non-toxic LiGas safely and quickly vent from the cell upon a fault condition, allowing the cell to shut down without thermal runaway or heat propagation to neighboring cells. LiGas electrolytes exhibit exceptionally high conductivity at low temperatures and will continue to perform well at temperatures as low as -60 °C.
