MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541132934 A) filed by Annai Mira College Of Engineering And Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 29, 2025, for 'a fire and thermal runaway mitigation barrier for electric vehicle batteries using nickel-based superalloy.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Kanmani G.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A fire and thermal runaway mitigation barrier system (100) comprising a battery enclosure, a nickel-based superalloy outer shield (102), a thermal insulation layer (104), a fire-retardant inner coating layer (106), a structural mounting frame (108), a ventilation control interface (110), a thermal expansion compensation structure (112), a sealing gasket arrangement (114), and an impact-resistant support bracket (116). The nickel-based superalloy outer shield (102) provides high-temperature resistance and maintains structural integrity during thermal runaway events. The thermal insulation layer (104) reduces heat transfer between battery cells. The fire-retardant inner coating layer (106) suppresses flame propagation, while the ventilation control interface (110) manages gas release. The invention enhances electric vehicle battery safety, facilitates effective thermal runaway containment, and promotes compliance with stringent safety regulations."
