Overheating batteries are a serious risk, in the worst cases leading to fires and explosion. A team including researchers ...

BESS fires can start from thermal runaway, where one cell failure can trigger a cascade of overheating, leading to fires that ...

That can trigger the catastrophic condition of thermal runaway, when increased temperature releases energy that further heats the battery, substantially increasing the risk of failure and/or fires ...

We developed a kinetic model to predict the curing rate and extent of the reaction. The model was validated within the temperature range of 50 to 80 °C, showing good agreement with experimental data.
