Overview
The surge in the electric vehicle market underscores the pressing need for smaller, lighter batteries with increased capacity. Yet, safety remains a critical concern in Li-ion battery (LIB) applications.
Thermal abuse resulting from manufacturing defects, deformation, or inadequate thermal management poses a significant risk. Due to the intricate electrochemical/thermal system, traditional safety testing falls short of comprehensively addressing thermal runaway propagation during internal shorting. Thus, a robust numerical model is critical in understanding thermal runaway propagation and pinpointing parameters to mitigate such incidents in battery modules or packs.
