摘要: 以电动汽车用方壳型镍钴锰(NCM)锂离子动力电池为研究对象,以氮气为惰性保护,采用高速摄影的方法,在密闭容器内开展了电池热失控产物喷发过程的试验研究。检测压力突变表明,中等荷电状态下的电池热失控后的喷发过程出现了2次剧烈喷射,分别导致了喷发物射流区温度的突然降低和快速升高。借助辅助光源,捕捉到了热失控产物首次喷发演变过程的高速影像,进一步分析发现,首次喷发经历了初期的带状和锥形喷发,然后进入较长时间的无定形喷发和后期的倒锥形喷发;同时,在影像中还观察到了气-液-固三相共存的特征。

Abstract: An electric vehicles used commercial prismatic battery cell with lithium nickel manganese oxide cathode was selected to research the venting process of the products released during thermal runaway. The test was carried out in a sealed chamber with nitrogen as an inert protective environment to avoid combustion, and a high-speed photography was adopted to capture the rapid venting process. The sudden change of the detection pressure indicated that two intense injections occurred during the venting process under medium state of charge, and separately resulted in a sudden decrease and a rapid increase of the temperature in the jet region. With the aid of the auxiliary light source, high-speed images of the first venting evolution of the products caused by thermal runaway were captured. Further analysis revealed that the venting process experiences an initial strip and cone eruption first, followed by a longer period of amorphous eruption, and then a later inverted conical eruption. At the same time, the characteristics of gas-liquid-solid three-phase coexistence were also observed in the images.

Key words: lithium-ion battery, thermal runaway, venting, high-speed photography
