Electrochemical energy storage is one of the critical technologies for energy storage, which is important for high-efficiency utilization of renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions. In addition to the higher energy density requirements, safety is also an essential factor for developing electrochemical energy storage technologies. Lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion batteries) are commercialized as power batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) because of their advantages (such as high energy density, long life span, etc.), while for future electrochemical energy storage markets, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) and lithium-air (Li-air) batteries can be promising candidates for high energy density requirements. Therefore, this paper summarizes the present or potential thermal hazard issues of lithium batteries (Li-ion, Li-S, and Li-air batteries).Moreover, the corresponding solutions are proposed to further improve the thermal safety performance of electrochemical energy storage technologies.

“…Ping 16 believed that, as the state of charge (SOC) decreased, the peak heat release rate, battery heating, and mass loss would also decrease. Kong 17 established a three-dimensional model to study the effects of battery materials, external heating conditions, and heat dissipation conditions on the thermal runaway of a battery. The results show that the increase in the melting temperature of the separator can increase the onset temperature of thermal runaway and delay the occurrence of thermal runaway.…”

Recently, fire and explosion accidents associated with lithium ion battery failure occurred frequently. Safety has become one of the main constraints on the wide application of lithium ion batteries in the field of electric vehicles (EVs). By using a simultaneous thermal analyzer (STA8000) and accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC), we studied the thermal stability of high nickel battery materials and the high temperature thermal runaway of the battery, combining the two experimental results to analyze the battery thermal runaway process. We studied the temperature difference between inside and outside during thermal runaway by arranging two temperature sensors inside and outside the battery. The chemical reactions of the battery at high temperature through the thermal performance of the anode, cathode, and separator are also revealed. In-depth exploration of the occurrence process and the trigger mechanism of thermal runaway of lithium batteries was made. The main findings of the study are as follows: The temperature at which the anode materials begin to decompose is 77.13 °C, caused by decomposition of the solid electrolyte interface and the temperature at which the cathode materials begin to decompose is 227.09 °C. The maximum surface temperature of the battery during thermal runaway is 641.41 °C; and the maximum inside temperature of the battery is 1117.80 °C. The time difference between the maximum temperatures inside and outside the battery is 40 s. The thermal runaway temperature of the battery T c is 228.47 °C, which is mainly contributed by the internal short circuit of the anode and cathode to release Joule heat and the cathode/electrolyte reaction. The maximum temperature of T m is 642.65 °C, which is mainly caused by the reaction between oxygen and electrolyte.

“…It is determined that the rate and nature of LIB combustion are infl uenced by a variety of factors, including ambient pressure [3], and the total heat release during their combustion increases with the number of elements themselves. A significant factor that will aff ect the nature of the combustion of LIB will be the chemical composition of the cathode or anode of LIB, which directly aff ects the rate and nature of combustion of each of the LIB [4].…”

“…Thus, in the study [4] a three-dimensional model was developed to study the eff ect of diff erent battery materials, external heating conditions and heat transfer conditions on the behaviour of the thermochemical combustion reaction of LIB. The results show that batteries with Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 anode and LiFePO 4 cathode show better thermal safety and stability than other materials considered in the study.…”

Purpose. To experimentally determine the combustion temperature of a lithium-ion battery (LIB) due to mechanical damage to its case by a sharp object. At the same time, to determine the cooling-down time of the lithium-ion battery after combustion and the further mathematical description of this process. Methodology. To achieve the set goal, a laboratory bench with the appropriate measuring equipment was prepared. For mathematical modelling of the cooling process, experimental values and methods for studying heat transfer processes in solid multilayer cylindrical structures were applied. Findings. Experimental studies showed that the maximum temperature on the lithium-ion battery case reached 715 C. In turn, the average values showed a temperature of 665 . The average cooling time to a temperature of 50 C was at least 17 minutes. Mass loss studies showed that after combustion are complete, all elements lose about 53% of their original mass. Originality. The combustion temperature and cooling-down time of Panasonic NCR18650B (LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2) LIB specifically have been determined for the first time. In parallel with experimental studies, mathematical modelling of the cooling process of the LIB was carried out using the theory of heat transfer. It was found that the results of the mathematical modelling correlate well with the experimental values. This approach allows, in the future, carrying out analytical studies on LIB without the need (where possible) to conduct experiments. Practical value. Further implementation and application of the obtained mathematical model will make it possible to determine the cooling time, the possibility of heating other (adjacent) LIB to a critical temperature, the possibility of ignition from overload, various LIB using only geometric parameters without the need for experimental research. Determining the cooling time of the LIB after combustion is a valuable indicator since it allows one to practically estimate the time during the LIB remains a potential source of danger.
