Review of Gas Generation Behavior during Thermal Runaway of Lithium-Ion Batteries

<div>Due to the limitations of current battery manufacturing processes, integration technology, and operating conditions, the large-scale application of lithium-ion batteries in the fields of energy storage and electric vehicles has led to an increasing number of fire accidents. When a lithium-ion battery undergoes thermal runaway, it undergoes complex and violent reactions, which can lead to combustion and explosion, accompanied by the production of a large amount of flammable and toxic gases. These flammable gases continue to undergo chemical reactions at high temperatures, producing complex secondary combustion products. This article systematically summarizes the gas generation characteristics of different types and states of batteries under different thermal runaway triggering conditions. And based on this, proposes the key research directions for the gas generation characteristics of lithium-ion batteries.</div>
