Investigation on the thermal runaway performance of new energy lithium-ion cells
lithium batteries are more widely used in energy storage power stations
electric power
new energy vehicles
and other fields. However
their inherent risk of thermal runaway poses a serious threat to equipment and personal safety. Therefore
the research on the safety characteristics of lithium batteries
especially thermal runaway
holds significant theoretical and practical value. This study focuses on ternary cylindrical lithium-ion batteries (cathode material: LiNi
6
Co
2
Mn
2
O
2
anode: graphite). Utilizing characterization methods such as charge-discharge equipment
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
pulse power
and adiabatic runaway
it was conducted research on the basic electrochemical performance and the risk of adiabatic thermal runaway. It was investigated the basic electrochemical performance of lithium batteries at different states of life and clarified the pattern of adiabatic thermal runaway at different states of charge. The results indicate that after charge-discharge cycling
the external manifestation of lithium-ion batteries is a decrease in effective output capacity
while internally
there is an increase in electrode side reactions
gradual polarization
and a gradual decrease in ion conduction efficiency of the lithium-ion battery
leading to an increase in internal resistance and a decrease in self-stability. It reveals that the impedance of lithium-ion batteries increases with the number of charge-discharge cycles
especially the charge transfer impedance
which significantly increases and leads to increased battery polarization
but it tends to level off after increasing to a certain value. It also clarifies that the risk of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries increases with the increase in state of charge. Finally
several suggestions are provided for the use and transportation of lithium-ion batteries.
