“…LIBs can disperse heat naturally at slower rates using the thermal effect. − Impurities such as chlorine, water, and HF significantly affect the performance (eqs –), dendrite formation, and electrolyte stability, where elevated temperatures mainly produce large amounts of hydrofluoric acid (HF). − Typically, heat is released from the electrolyte when trace impurities in the water initiate the thermal decomposition of the electrolyte. − The instability of the internal components, such as the flammable organic electrolyte, is the immediate cause of thermal runaway issues, resulting in nonflammable, nontoxic, and good interfacial electrode adherence. It inhibits Li dendrite growth, and highly conducting electrolytes can mitigate such risks. − Internal exothermic processes are the root cause of thermal runaway concerns, which can be classified as (a) faulty operation and releasing oxygen, (b) disintegration of the unstable SEI layer, − (c) redundant Li plating on the anode, lithium dendrite growth, internal circuit formation, and reactions involving a high amount of heat and gas, , and (d) oxidation of the carbonate solvent and immediate lithium salt (LiPF 6 ) decomposition. − The combined effects of all of the chemical reactions can cause LIBs to reach high temperatures and pressures, posing a severe threat of thermal runaway. As a result of the initial analysis, the following practical techniques can be used to prevent LIBs from overheating.…”
