This article reports the thermal runaway mechanism of a 25-Ah large-format lithium-ion battery without internal short circuit induced by Joule heat. In this condition, chemical crosstalk is believed to be the mechanism. Specifically, cathode-produced oxygen is consumed by the anode with great heat generation. This finding is important for better design of LIBs to avoid thermal runaway via the optimization of all battery components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
