Firefighting methods and devices in the early stages of a fire in confined spaces is an actual problem (1). This problem is especially relevant in the field of microelectronics and electric power industry (2) , in particular in large-capacity energy storage devices (3) , batteries for electric vehicles and other devices where lithium-ion batteries (LIB) are used (4,5). The above articles indicate a large list of products subject to ignitionfrom small consumer electronics to large electric vehicles and airplanes. Although various safety devices have been incorporated into the commercial LIB cells, there have been numerous high-profile battery failure accidents, many of which caused significant adverse impacts for the cell manufacturers
