Experimental investigation on thermal runaway propagation of 18,650 lithium-ion battery modules with two cathode materials at low pressure

Zhuangzhuang Jia et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the characteristics of thermal runaway (TR) propagation for different modules of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) under different pressure conditions. The results show that as the pressure decreases, the TR behaviors become weaker, the maximum temperature and propagation time of the modules decrease, but the propagation time of one module increases. The mass losses decrease, but the impact force of battery safety venting increases. A heat transfer model is established to explain the trend in TR influence at low pressure.

Experimental study on the vertical thermal runaway propagation in cylindrical Lithium-ion batteries: Effects of spacing and state of charge

Jun Fang et al.

Summary: This study experimentally investigated the effects of SOC and spacing on vertical thermal runaway propagation between lithium-ion battery cells. Results showed that thermal runaway only occurred when SOC was above 50%, with critical spacings triggering propagation at 4 mm and 6 mm for 80% and 100% SOC batteries. The flame was identified as the key reason for propagation, rather than conduction, and the minimum energy required to trigger propagation for the upper battery was found to be 5 kJ.
