Thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries is a critical safety issue that has gained significant attention recently due to its potential to cause fires and explosions. Understanding this phenomenon is crucial for industries that rely on lithium-ion batteries, from electric vehicles to consumer electronics.
LIBs typically comprise modules of tightly packed cells; therefore, thermal runaway may rapidly propagate through the cells in such batteries. Thermal runaway can result in the release of gases, the ejection of solids, and the occurrence of high temperature, pressure shocks, combustion, and explosion [8, 9].
Thermal runaway is a chain reaction phenomenon triggered by various triggers [45, 46]. When LIBs are subjected to abusive conditions such as overcharging, high temperatures, and mechanical force damage, the battery will rupture and release dangerously flammable gases .
However, the aforementioned mechanical and gas signals typically indicate that thermal runaway is rapidly reaching a critical point. Therefore, methods for detecting these signals should be integrated with fire suppression and explosion mitigation strategies to effectively prevent thermal runaway in batteries.
Methods for predicting thermal runaway in LIBs mainly rely on an understanding of battery electrochemistry and the development of extensive battery data models. Early indicators of impending thermal runaway include specific acoustic, temperature, gas, mechanical, and electrochemical impedance signals.
Thermal runaway does not occur for most batteries with external SC because energy is extracted from such batteries. The literature indicates that when external SC occurs, the voltage decreases, and the current swiftly increases [, , , ].
