Advanced Fire Suppression Agent for Lithium-Ion Battery Thermal Runaway Prevention

Advanced Fire Suppression Agent for Lithium-Ion Battery Thermal Runaway Prevention

Summary

This technology is a fast-acting, non-conductive fire suppression agent designed for lithium-ion battery systems. It can be applied in portable extinguishers, integrated into automated fire control systems, or built directly into battery modules. The agent operates by cutting off oxygen, rapidly cooling the heat source, and disrupting the chemical chain reaction that drives thermal runaway, the root cause of lithium battery fires. 
As the use of electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS) grows, battery-related fires are becoming more frequent and harder to control. Traditional fire suppression methods often prove ineffective against these high-intensity events. This advanced agent fills that critical protection gap by targeting the unique fire dynamics of lithium-ion cells.
Compared to conventional agents, it works more quickly, achieves safer surface cooling, and reduces the risk of re-ignition or collateral damage. It is halogen-free, non-toxic, electrically non-conductive, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
With public testing, multiple granted patents, and strong real-world validation, this solution provides a future-ready, scalable tool for manufacturers and integrators seeking to enhance safety in EVs, ESS units, defense systems, and industrial environments. 

Advantages and Innovations

This offering is a next-generation fire suppression agent designed to neutralize high-temperature, lithium-ion battery fires through fast-acting chemical and thermal control. It can be deployed in multiple forms: portable extinguishers, integrated fire suppression systems, or as an embedded feature in battery modules (OEM). The agent works by cutting off oxygen, cooling the battery surface, and stopping thermal runaway, simultaneously.

 

Developed for both industrial and mobile use, the system is non-conductive, non-toxic, and optimized for safe use in sensitive electrical environments like EVs, ESS facilities, and data centers. Its fire-simulation-enhanced design (AI-CFD) also allows custom calibration for various battery chemistries and fire scenarios. 

 

Key Features:

  • Rapid suppression: Extinguishes high-risk battery fires in under 10 seconds (public demo tested)
  • Electrical safety: Non-conductive and safe for use around high-voltage equipment
  • Eco-safe formulation: Halogen-free, non-toxic, and designed for minimal residue
  • Thermal runaway control: Prevents re-ignition and limits damage spread between cells
  • Flexible deployment: Available in extinguisher kits, automated systems, or as OEM liquid module

 

This solution provides a scalable, high-performance safety layer for industries where lithium-ion batteries are mission-critical infrastructure.

Stage of Development

TRL 8 - Pre-Commercial Demonstration

Description

This advanced fire suppression technology addresses one of the most pressing safety challenges in sectors that rely on lithium-ion batteries. It is ideally suited for use in:

  • Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Energy Storage Systems (ESS): Prevents thermal runaway and mitigates fire risks in battery packs, charging stations, and storage units.
  • Defense and Aerospace: Enhances onboard safety in high-energy battery systems used in drones, military vehicles, and aerospace platforms.
  • Data Centers and Logistics Hubs: Protects battery-powered backup systems, robotics, and autonomous equipment where overheating or internal failures could lead to fires.

 

The technology can be deployed as:

  • Portable extinguishers for rapid on-site response
  • Built-in modules for automatic fire suppression in buildings
  • Embedded liquid agents integrated directly into battery packs at the manufacturing stage (OEM)

 

Manufacturers, facility managers, and integrators can all benefit from a proven, scalable solution that actively prevents re-ignition and minimizes secondary damage.

As global industries increasingly depend on lithium-ion energy, this agent offers a critical layer of safety protecting people, assets, and infrastructure from catastrophic battery-related fires.
