Advanced methods of extinguishing lithium-ion batteries. Part 1

The fire hazard of various types of lithium-ion batteries was analyzed. Options for implementing passive extinguishing (cooling) of damaged cells and methods of creating non-flammable electrolyte compounds were presented. The author summarized possible engineering solutions, aimed at reducing the likelihood of fire spread to neighbouring cells within a separate pack. The author also considered ways of preventing and mitigating battery ignition consequences using various fire extinguishing substances, described the main features of application and operating principles underlying advanced methods of extinguishing lithium-ion batteries.
