In an effort to prevent these disasters from happening, a group of Stanford scientists have developed a lithium-ion battery pack, which includes a capsule filled with triphenyl phosphate (TPP). Once the battery\u2019s internal temperature reaches a certain point, the capsule will melt releasing the TPP and extinguishing the fire.<\/p>\n<p>Like Us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Chinatopix\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The team working on the project found out that TPP is a type of chemical-fire retardant. The chemical is capable of extinguishing an exploding battery in just 0.4 seconds, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2017\/01\/16\/stanford-team-creates-battery-w-built-in-fire-extinguisher-to-avoid-future-note-7-like-disasters\/\" target=\"_blank\">9to5Google<\/a>.
