Test and research on suppressing fire of lithium-ion battery with water mist containing additive

Abstract

In order to improve the fire extinguishing effect on lithium-ion battery fires, the paper experimented with compound solution of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate-dodecanol-sodium carbonate at a ratio of 3:2:2, polyfiouroalkyll betaine-alkylglycoside-potassium carbonate at a ratio of 2: 3: 3 and monoalkyl ether phosphate potassium-fatty acid ester polyoxyethylene etherurea at a ratio of 3:2: 3. The fire of the lithium-ion battery was extinguished with water mist containing additive compound solution by building lithium-ion battery fire extinguishing experimental platform. The experiment selected four different concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%. The results showed that the polyfluoroalkyl betaine-alkyl glycoside-potassium carbonate compound solution had better fire extinguishing effect in the early stage of thermal runaway, and the battery did not reignite. The sodium dodecylbenzene sul-fonate-dodecanol-sodium carbonate compound solution took the least time to reduce the battery temperature to below 200 °C. In the later period, the sodium dodecylbenzenesul-fonate-dodecanol-sodium carbonate compound solution has the greatest advantage in cooling rate. In the gas absorption test, the sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate-dodecanoll-sodium carbonate compound solution has the best absorption effect on methane, and the polyfluoroalkyl betaine-alkyl glycoside-potassium carbonate compound solution releases CO. The concentration of the compound has a more obvious drop than the other two compound solutions.
