Abstract

Lithium batteries are being utilized more widely, increasing the focus on their thermal safety, which is primarily brought on by their thermal runaway. This paper’s focus is the energy storage power station’s 50 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery. An in situ eruption study was conducted in an inert environment, while a thermal runaway experiment was conducted utilizing sealed pressure containers and an external heating triggering mechanism. Both the amount of gas release and the battery’s maximum temperature were discovered. Using gas chromatography, the gas emission from the battery was examined. Its principal constituents included CO, H2, CO2, CH4, C2H4, and so on. Moreover, the experiment discovered a second eruption of lithium iron phosphate, and the stage of its eruption was separated by the pressure signal of the sealed experimental chamber, giving a theoretical foundation and technological backing for the thermal catastrophe safety of lithium batteries.
