Energy Release Quantifications for Li-ion Battery Failures
Lithium-ion batteries have become the energy storage technology of choice, spanning applications in transportation, utilities, consumer electronics, aerospace, and medical devices. As Li-ion battery chemistries have improved, battery energy and power densities have increased, raising the risk of potential battery failures, including thermal runaway.
Featured on the cover of the November 2022 issue of "In Compliance" magazine, "Energy Release Quantification For Li-Ion Battery Failures" written by Exponent battery experts Francesco Colella, Sergio Mendoza, Tim Myers, Ryan Spray, Artyom Kossolapov, and Michael Barry proposes evaluation and testing strategies to help reduce the risk of catastrophic failure, which can also help support the design of safer products.
