Summary: This paper introduces a novel simulation approach for Lithium-Ion battery simulations, combining fundamental and applicate aspects. The results demonstrate that aged cells are more prone to thermal runaway, but the difference can be reduced by increasing cooling flow. Overall, the proposed framework proves its capability in addressing relevant phenomena during battery operation and improving the design phase from cell to pack.

An optical investigation of thermal runway phenomenon under thermal abuse conditions

Antonio Garcia et al.

Summary: This study investigates the thermal runaway process caused by thermal abuse using various optical techniques with a Samsung ICR 18,650 - 26 J cylindrical battery cell. The results show that venting of electrolyte and gases occurs around 200 degrees C, with a safety time of about 3 minutes between venting and fire, inversely related to the heating ramp.

Modeling cell venting and gas-phase reactions in 18650 lithium ion batteries during thermal runaway

Jinyong Kim et al.

Summary: A numerical model was developed to study the cell venting, internal pressure, and gas-phase dynamics behavior of 18650 Li-ion cells undergoing thermal runaway. The study found that the cell response is mainly dominated by the thermal runaway reactions, with cells at higher states-of-charge producing more heat and gas during venting events, increasing the risk of side-wall breaching.

Summary: This study investigated the use of poly acrylic acid (PAA) as a corrosion-mitigating and surface-stabilizing agent in aqueous processing of LiNi0.80Co0.15Al0.05O2 (NCA) for lithium-ion battery cathodes. Adding PAA to the aqueous NCA slurry helped maintain stable pH and enhance electrochemical stability, but led to minor cracking and hindered rate capability. Despite lower initial capacity, the aqueous-processed cathode showed better capacity retention compared to the baseline.

Yih-Shing Duh et al.

Summary: This review summarizes and characterizes the calorimetric results of commercial 18650 lithium-ion batteries under thermal runaway, ranking their hazard potential as LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 > LiCoO2 > LiNixMnyCozO2 > LiMn2O4 >> LiFePO4. The LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 battery displays the worst case scenario under thermal runaway, while LiFePO4 battery is showed to be relatively safer.
