Thermal Runaway of Lithium-Ion Batteries without Internal Short Circuit
Open accessAbstract
Summary We demonstrate herein that not only internal short circuiting, but also chemical crossover, is the mechanism behind thermal runaway that can occur in lithium-ion batteries due to abuse conditions. In situ experiments showed that during thermal runaway, the cathode releases oxygen by a phase transition, and this oxygen is consumed by the lithiated anode. The released highly oxidative gas reacts with reductive LiCx with tremendous heat generation centered at 274.2°C with heat flow of 87.8 W g−1. To confirm the proposed mechanism, we froze a battery undergoing the thermal runaway process by liquid nitrogen and subjected it to detailed post-test analysis. Our results revealed the hidden thermal runaway mechanism of chemical crossover between the battery components without a severe internal short circuit. These findings provide an important insight into the rational design of automotive lithium-ion batteries as well as solid-state batteries.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
