Note that NMC modules and the battery caught fire as indicated by the heat release rate measurements in Table 2. Fire experienced by the modules and the battery caused significant levels of CO 2 due to the combustion of vented gases. Flammable gases such as H 2 and hydrocarbons were measured, despite being released into a flaming environment.
During the battery-level LFP test, only smoke but no fire was observed due to the cells enclosed in a sealed battery, which prevents the gases from combusting in ambient air. During heating tests carried out in an inert environment, a substantial quantity of flammable gases was detected from both cell chemistries when thermal runaway occurred.
Larsson, F.; Andersson, P.; Blomqvist, P.; Mellander, B. E.Toxic fluoride gas emissions from lithium-ion battery fires. Sci. Rep.2017, 7, 10018, DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-09784-z Scientific reports (2017), 7 (1), 10018 ISSN:. Lithium-ion battery fires generate intense heat and considerable amounts of gas and smoke.
The response of several com. available gas sensors is tested in four battery failure cases: unwanted electrolysis of voltage carrying parts, electrolyte vapor, first venting of the cell and the TR. The expts. show that battery failure detection with gas sensors is possible but depends highly on the failure case.
Fire experienced by the modules and the battery caused significant levels of CO 2 due to the combustion of vented gases. Flammable gases such as H 2 and hydrocarbons were measured, despite being released into a flaming environment. These gases were released at high velocities, which could have minimized the residence time needed for oxidation.
In the NMC chemistry, the total volume of gases generated from the 25 Ah cell was 41 L. Note that the larger gas volume from the NMC cell may be attributed to the larger battery capacity. The largest gas component measured was hydrogen (36.0 vol %), followed by carbon dioxide (26.7 vol %) and carbon monoxide (23.8 v%).
