WILMINGTON, Del. Helping batteries last longer and charge faster is what DuPont Co. does. And the latest Kevlar product offering from the Wilmington-based company follows suit as it s designed to help electric vehicles optimize performance.
Kevlar MicroCore is a non-flammable, super-fine fiber material targeted for use in battery separators, and addresses the need for safer, higher-performing lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles. The material has shown that it will not shrink, even as temperatures reach 300°C, DuPont said.
The material also has demonstrated better lithium ion transfer abilities in battery separators, which ultimately supports faster charging for higher power EVs.
