Lithium-ion Battery Safety

Lithium-ion Battery Safety provides an in-depth exploration of the safety challenges associated with lithium-ion batteries, focusing on thermal runaway-a critical and potentially catastrophic failure mode. The book systematically analyzes the mechanisms, characteristics, and influencing factors of thermal runaway under various abusive conditions, such as mechanical, electrical, and thermal stresses. It examines the propagation of thermal runaway, its derivative disasters, and effective countermeasures, offering valuable insights into prevention, mitigation, and safety management to safeguard lives and property while supporting sustainable development. This book is ideal for researchers, engineers, industry professionals, policymakers, and students involved in battery technology, energy storage, and safety management.

It aims to enhance understanding, promote industry-standard safety practices, support technological innovation, and contribute to the sustainable growth of the new energy ecosystem. Whether you are involved in battery design, safety regulation, or industry application, this comprehensive guide will equip you with the knowledge needed to prevent accidents and advance safer energy storage solutions.
