Fig. 1
Three stages for the thermal runaway process. Stage 1: The onset of overheating. The batteries change from a normal to an abnormal state, and the internal temperature starts to increase; Stage 2: Heat accumulation and gas release process. The internal temperature quickly rises, and the battery undergoes exothermal reactions; Stage 3: Combustion and explosion. The flammable electrolyte combusts, leading to firesand even explosions[6]"
