However, the advancement of LIB technology is hindered by the phenomenon of thermal runaway (TR), which constitutes the primary failure mechanism of LIBs, potentially leading severe fires and explosions. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the TR mechanisms in LIBs, which vary significantly depending on the battery’s materials.
Thermal runaway of Li-ion batteries is the phenomenon of exothermic chain reactions within the battery. These reactions usually cause a sharp increase in the internal battery temperature causing the inner structures of the battery to destabilize and degrade, which can lead to the total failure of the battery.
5.1. Thermal runaway mitigation mechanism Thermal runaway in a battery pack can lead to fire hazards. The fire occurs when the mixture of battery fuel and oxidizer is exposed to high heat sources.
