Because of their high specific and volumetric energy density, lithium-ion cells are popular in energy storage systems with strict mass and volume restrictions. Such applications include electric vehicles, power tools, consumer electronics, all-electric aircraft, as well as high-reliability military and crewed spacecraft. Next-generation rechargeabl...

This study presents a novel method for implementing internal temperature sensors in cylindrical lithium-ion batteries by laser ablation to enhance the understanding of thermal runaway (TR) behavior. Using commercial 21700 cells, Accelerating Rate Calorimetry (ARC) experiments were conducted at various states of charge. The results showed that inter...

As the EV and battery market continues to grow, understanding and mitigating battery thermal runaway remains a critically important area of research. Under controlled experimental conditions, researchers have employed a range of different techniques to initiate battery fires and understand both how and why they occur. These tests give important inf...

Batteries are the cornerstone of the global shift toward electrification, powering applications from passenger transportation, like electric vehicles (EVs), to load shifting of renewable energy generation at the grid level. The demand for batteries is accelerating, and is projected to nearly quadruple by 2030. In response to increasing battery dema...
