This work covers multi-level fault mechanisms, thermal runaway hazard characteristics, and advanced fault diagnosis methods.

Why is lithium-ion battery safety important?

Conclusion Lithium-ion battery safety is critical to the development of electric vehicles and energy storage technology. This paper provides a detailed introduction and analysis of lithium-ion battery safety issues and research on full-lifecycle condition monitoring and fault diagnosis based on bibliometric analysis.

What is a cylindrical lithium-ion battery?

Cylindrical lithium-ion batteries are complex systems with multi-step manufacturing processes. This introduces the possibility of diverse failure modes that detrimentally lead to a common effect, impacting the quality, reliability, and safety of the battery.

Why do lithium ion batteries have safety vents?

Abstract: Cylindrical Li-ion batteries (cells) typically have safety vents in the positive terminal to enable the release of gases that build up inside the battery and thus help reduce the effects of thermal runaway, including fire and explosion. However, the vents are not always effective, and it is critical to understand why.

Are lithium ion batteries safe?

Major safety concerns for lithium-ion batteries are thermal runaway and explosion. Thermal runaway is a phenomenon where exothermic reactions occur within the cell, leading to a rapid temperature increase, potentially causing the cell to catch fire .
