Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries power modern technologies from smartphones to electric vehicles. But they also carry a critical risk: thermal runaway. This self-sustaining chemical reaction generates heat, releases hazardous gases, and in extreme cases, can cause fires or explosions.
Understanding and measuring battery thermal runaway emissions is essential for improving safety, advancing battery design, and reducing environmental and health risks.
During a thermal runaway event, Li-ion battery components rapidly break down, releasing heat and a complex mix of gases and particles. These emissions include carbon dioxide, hydrogen, ammonia, and fine particulates, each with unique safety and environmental implications.
By studying the gases generated at every stage of thermal runaway, researchers can:
