PoF is not the only type of physics-based approach to model battery failure modes, performance, and degradation process. Other physics-based models have similar issues in development as PoF, and as such they work best with support of empirical data to verify assumptions and tune the results.
Exponent's understanding of all battery chemistries and their applications allows for streamlined failure analysis investigations to quickly arrive at the root cause of battery failures.
These articles explain the background of Lithium-ion battery systems, key issues concerning the types of failure, and some guidance on how to identify the cause(s) of the failures. Failure can occur for a number of external reasons including physical damage and exposure to external heat, which can lead to thermal runaway.
With the battery casing integrity lost, air may come in contact with flammable materials, such as the electrolyte solvent and gaseous decomposition products formed during the thermal runaway. The released gas is composed of a mixture of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide with traces of light hydrocarbons.
Battery cells can fail in several ways resulting from abusive operation, physical damage, or cell design, material, or manufacturing defects to name a few. Li-ion batteries deteriorate over time from charge/discharge cycling, resulting in a drop in the cell’s ability to hold a charge.
Battery hazards can have serious consequences in the form of explosions or fires which can be quantified in terms of blast and thermal loads, respectively. These consequences have the potential to threaten buildings, equipment, and most importantly people.
Battery Failure Analysis and Characterization of Failure Types
It is important to understand battery failures and failure mechanisms, and how they are caused or can be triggered. This article discusses common types of Li-ion battery failure with a greater focus on thermal runaway, which is a particularly dangerous and hazardous failure mode.
