Preliminary study of all-solid-state batteries: Evaluation of blast formation during the thermal runaway

Summary: All-solid-state batteries have been developed to increase energy density by replacing the lithiated graphite negative electrode by a lithium metal foil and to increase safety by removing the organic compounds.

Description
Summary:Summary: All-solid-state batteries have been developed to increase energy density by replacing the lithiated graphite negative electrode by a lithium metal foil and to increase safety by removing the organic compounds. However, the safety issues of these batteries have received little attention up to now.The behavior of a reassembled all-solid-state battery under thermal stress was recorded by X-ray radiography and a high-speed camera. The thermal runaway (TR) lasted about 5 ms, thus extremely fast reaction kinetics. In comparison, the TR of a lithium-ion battery is about 500 ms. Furthermore, a 188-mbar aerial overpressure was measured using a piezoelectric sensor. Although this cell is not an explosive, 2.7 g TNT equivalent was calculated for it.This atypical behavior could have an impact on the casing or the battery pack. Therefore, it must be studied in greater detail.
