Abstract

Abstract: The safety and thermal runaway processes of a lithium ion battery and its toxic leakage effects on human and environments are elaborated and discussed in detail. The EV power lithium ion battery was used as example to analysis its impact to a city environment. One of the representative combustion toxics CO was analyst in quantity from three different 10 A·h lithium ion cell (LiFePO₄, LiMnO₂ and NMC) combustion experiment. It shows that the toxics safety problems of lithium ion battery can not be ignored any more.

Key words: Li-ion battery, materials, toxics, thermal runway
